British homeowners looking to refresh their spaces are in for a treat this season, with a stunning palette of paint colours leading the interior design trends. From serene blues to earthy olives and rich burgundies, the latest shades offer something for every taste, and knowing how to accessorise them is key.
The Ultimate Colour Guide for Your Home
Leading paint brands have unveiled their standout shades, providing the perfect foundation for any room makeover. Dulux's Mellow Flow, a soft and calming blue, is available for £33 for 2.5 litres directly from dulux.co.uk. For those seeking a lighter, airier feel, Pantone's Cloud Dancer offers a neutral tone, matched by Valspar paint at £45 for 2.5 litres.
If you're craving depth and drama, Divine Damson by Graham & Brown presents a luxurious burgundy option at £56 for 2.5 litres. Meanwhile, for a connection to nature, Lick's Green 05 provides a sophisticated earthy olive hue for £39 for 2.5 litres.
Curated Pairings for a Cohesive Look
Selecting the right paint is just the first step. The true magic happens when colour is complemented with perfectly chosen furniture and accessories. For a room painted in Mellow Flow, interior stylists suggest pairing it with pieces like the Habitat Ivor Velvet Four-Seater Sofa or a Nordic Knots Rug (140cm x 200cm). Fabrics such as Warner House Crane Royal Wallpaper or Ashleigh Merica Kelso stripe fabric will enhance the serene blue theme.
A wall in Cloud Dancer sings when accompanied by the clean lines of a West Elm Anton Dining Chair or the elegant M&S Large Fluted Neck Ceramic Vase. To complete the look, consider Warner House Aubry Fabric or Farrow & Ball Tented Stripe wallpaper.
From Bold Burgundy to Earthy Green
For those bold enough to choose Divine Damson, rich textures are the ideal partner. The Dunelm Milo Scallop Wool Rug (160cm x 230cm) and an Oka Talasa Side Table add layers of luxury. Wallpapers like Mind the Gap Minuano Green or CommonRoom Hatch Indigo can create a stunning, dramatic feature.
Finally, the grounded Olive Green by Lick calls for natural materials and organic shapes. Pair it with a Piglet in Bed Cedar Green Knitted Throw, a John Lewis Lozenge Wall Mirror, and a Birdie Fortescue Table Lamp. Complementary patterns include Starfall fabric and classic Gingham wallpaper for a timeless finish.
With these expert-curated combinations, creating a magazine-worthy home that reflects the latest trends has never been more straightforward. The key is in the coordination—starting with a beautiful paint colour and building a harmonious space around it.
