New House: Interior decorating
nice colours
Love the wall painting
Its pastel cousins, celadon green, sea green and mint green, are pleasant matches. Khaki and sage green, both muted colours, are also a must.
This new beige-to-brown colour palette includes oodles of ochre and chocolate. This is the perfect mineral base for the other two main colour trends of the year. Fir green to sea green: Fir green is a vivid, dark, intense hue that brings to mind fir forests and the Amazon. This year, this green will be popular both on walls and in fashion. It is a logical progression of recent trends that brought nature indoors with monsteras, succulents and touches of tropical motifs.
Pairs of shades of the same colour are especially on trend, showing up as both subtle variations on the same colour or, as here, a vivid hue being supported by a pastel cousin.
The Louis Ghost Armchair is another classic chair that works beautifully both indoors and out, as can be seen in this New York dining room…
The trick to getting your hallway in order is hidden storage for each member of the family, so a sideboard can be just the thing, with its separate drawers and compartments. This design is on the bulkier side, so it suits a generous-sized hall, but you can also get slimmer versions that come with handy compact drawers. Just think, every member of the family can have their own individual drawer to store their keys, sunglasses, hat, scarf and gloves. And their mail can go in there too.
Sometimes, placing a sofa in a strategic position just isn’t enough to make your living room and kitchen/dining room seem like two different entities. That’s when a sideboard can come into play. Long and low, it’s perfect slotted behind a sofa to really say, ‘This is where the living area ends and the cooking and eating zones begin.’ Plus, you get additional storage. It’s a win-win.
