Be Bold

Say goodbye to bland because big bright bold colours are on trend for 2022.

Embrace joyful colour pops with fashion pieces and statement furniture that brighten up your life and living space. Following this trend is not for the faint hearted and the rule is there are no rules. Be fearless about clashing strong pinks and vibrant oranges in accessories. Start slowly with an integrated colour like bright lemony yellow on throws, cushions and bedspreads. Experiment with accent pillows in red, colourful plant pots and summery flowers for a less permanent cheerful rainbow effect. Daring colour palettes in wallpaper, paint and tiles are great for statement walls. And for the more courageous who want to dive right in, a bold coloured sofa, rug or armchair can create the centrepiece for a dramatic transformation.

Contrast is key. So don’t hold back. Be bold.
