Blissful Blues
"In 2024, the enduring popularity of blue hues, ranging from serene pale blues to deep and rich tones, will remain a dominant force in interior design. This versatile colour spectrum brings a sense of calm to our lives - the lighter shades exude tranquillity with a fresh, airy feel, while the deeper blues provide a touch of sophistication. From coastal living spaces to children's bedrooms, blue is a steadfast choice for those seeking a harmonious and stylish colour palette that can adapt to any setting" comments Kate.

Natures' Canvas
Kate continues "As people continue to embrace sustainability and nature-inspired design, earthy greens and warm browns are making a strong comeback. Think mossy greens and forest hues, bringing the outdoors in. These colours promote a sense of tranquility and connection to the natural world, making them an excellent choice for home offices and relaxation spaces. With a strong earthy palette on the way for next year, statement neutrals are also gaining momentum with clay, mushroom, and stone all complementing these deeper natural shades beautifully."

Sunny Marigold
"Marigold shades, with their warm and cheerful demeanor are set to bring a burst of optimism into our homes. This uplifting hue blends sunny yellow and rich gold to achieve a floral-inspired tone that encapsulates the spirit of sunshine, radiating positivity and energy. Its warm and inviting nature creates a joyful atmosphere, making it a fantastic choice to brighten up any space - a piece of painted furniture in a soft marigold hue can be just enough to instantly elevate a room" explains Kate.

Muted Pastels
"Pastels, with a muted and sophisticated twist, are gaining popularity in 2024. Soft lavender, dusty rose, and pale mint are being used to create serene and stylish interior spaces. These colours are perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms, and even dining rooms, where they can create a sense of calm and elegance. Muted pastels have the ability to reflect and enhance natural light, making rooms appear brighter and more spacious. This is particularly beneficial for smaller spaces or rooms with limited access to natural light," says Kate.

Peachy Pinks & Coral Tones 
Kate concludes, "Peachy pinks and coral tones are undeniably standout colour choices as we head into a new year. These vibrant hues capture the essence of vitality and optimism, infusing a sense of warmth and playfulness into our homes. The soft, peachy pinks bring a touch of elegance and gentleness, while the lively coral tones radiate energy and creativity. In a world that seeks positivity and the freedom of self-expression, these vibrant hues demonstrate that 2024 is all about embracing individuality."
