Turning your home into your own party, wedding, or special occasion venue is a smart way to save time, money, and it’s also a lot easier than you think! To make your special event a hit, it’s worth having a look at what colours are going to be most fashionable this fall and why. Lucky for us, there’s going to be lots of color bursting choices! Take a look:

Radiant Orchard

Radiant Orchard is the perfect mix of subtle and colourful. Without being too overpowering, the shade creates character and energy and can be paired perfectly with white or cream. Think of a nice plush orchard sofa with cream walls and vanilla colored accessories! The color carries the radiance of summer but also incorporates a cool, autumnal feel. If you are planning a wedding at home, try to use orchard colored accessories and tie them in with matching bridesmaid dresses and décor to complete your look.

Cypress Green

If you want to go for something a little more uni-sex, cypress green showcases both elegance and strength. There is nothing more autumnal than greens and browns, and this shade of green celebrates the beautifully natural colours of this season. Without leaning too far towards khaki, cypress green looks refreshing, energised and sophisticated.

Sangria

Dark, mysterious and perfect for those colder nights, sangria exudes luxury. Sangria coloured napkins, table toppers, sashes and flowers paired with white table cloths and chair covers creates the most exquisite look. The mix between red and purple indeed creates a shade of burgundy that cannot be described as anything less than glamorous. Watch out for this colour as it is predicted to be one of the most popular autumnal shades of the year.

Yellow

Hold on to the summer and subtly hint at the mix of oranges and yellows that will fill the skies and the streets this autumn. Misty yellow and faded yellow are among the predicted favourites for this year as the shades enhance a perfect contrast to the darker colours of autumn. Whether you want to match dark colours or light colours with yellow shades, you have the option to create the perfect ambience for your day.

Aurora Red

If you want to stand out, make sure you stand out with style. Aurora red leaves the dark shades behind and makes way for the new trend of bright autumnal colours. Perfect for flowers, accessories and of course, lipstick, you can coordinate flawlessly with this shade. Red is unquestionably the colour of romance, sophistication and fashion, and this autumn will be spent celebrating the vibrancy it brings.

When it comes to decorating your home this spring, stay far away from the nude, white, and earthy tones seen in our dreary homes throughout the winter. Throw in something exciting – the brighter, bolder, and livelier the better!

The trend this season still features the grey pallet but with a twist! Use strong colours like Yellowcake (a bright yellow), Charlotte’s Locks (a deep orange hue) and Pelt (a luxurious matte purple) to give a zing of colour to your space.

To achieve this lively, trendy, yet subtle look, make sure you get the balance right. Simply add a small splash of colour to your home but don’t overuse it. Introducing too much color can overpower the neutral tones and create a completely new vibe within the house.

HGTV

Pick your main wall within the room and start introducing your color here first. This could be something in your space that has an eye-catching feature on it like the fireplace, flat screen TV, or the wall right behind your bed’s headboard. Hang up an exciting, colorful work of art, paint one wall your fave color, or reupholster your headboard to make sure everything stays on balance with your new feature wall.

Experiment with textures like vinyl matt, silk, and sheen like from Kent Blaxill’s range at Dulux Trade paints to make sure you get the perfect texture, feel, and ambience in your room. Whichever color you decide to choose, whether it is a pastel or a dark earth tone, make sure you get the correct shade and style for you. Choosing the exact color can be tough, so make sure to use a colour matching service, to mix the correct paints together to create your ideal color.

Of course, there are other ways of incorporating color into your home without getting out your painting equipment and masking tape. By simply adding a few accessories like rolling out a new rug, tossing some gorgeous pillows, or whipping out an psychedelic tablecloth, you’ll have the right flow of color into your home in no time.
