Colors add visual value to an interior space. So much that, many interior styles have their own defining shades of different hues. If a room has ever caught your fancy, its color definitely had a role in it. So this blog is all about the latest colors trending this year in design circles.

Colors and Interiors

A beautiful design depends to a great extend, on the colors that it uses. This is true for Interior Design as well. Colors set the tone and the mood for an interior. And 2018 has seen subtle yet powerful splashes of colors in designer spaces. Here we list down a few of the more popular ones.

Pink Blush

A quietly but steadily emerging trend in 2018 has been that of the soft peachy pink. Many people opt for this color for room backgrounds, such as walls. It adds elegance while keeping things simple. Mix and match with grays and you have it as your accent color. Add some deep red shades(sparingly) and this shade turns into a muted background.

Grey-Green

Also known as Sage, this shade is an amazing statement to an interior. It stays between the neutral grays and slightly brushes over Green. The silent tones make for a perfect palette! And another great thing about this color is its ability to contrast with white! Enchanting schemes in Sage have made it one of the latest colors tending in 2018.

Deep Crimson

An unlikely color that has made its mark in 2018 design circles is passionate, deep red. Well,on its own, it remains one of the strongest shades. And that is why you have to be very clever when you decide on using it in your rooms. The right amount of crimson adds that accent to your space. However, if you are worried about the shade going overboard, restrict it to accessories. Also, to achieve the perfect balance, you can safely opt for neutrals along.

Bright Sunshine Yellow

Yellow brings a certain energy into the space it adorns. Tired people may find the color refreshing, especially in rooms such as Kitchen or common room. And that makes it one of the latest colors trending this year. Still you have to be cautious while working with the color since too much yellow may have wearing-out effects. So try to apply it in patches. Also, you can mute down the tone in a way that it has a pleasant effect.

Ultraviolet

When Pantone announced Ultraviolet as its Color of the Year for 2018, everybody knew something dynamic was about to happen! The latest colors trending currently have Ultraviolet as a chart-topper. So, many Indian and international designers are experimenting with the color in terms of hue, tints and shades. Thus, ultraviolet interiors can be vibrant with gloss and textures or laid-back and relaxed with plain and matte finishes.

Black

Black is the threshold of anything latest in colors. And that is why every year you hear about  a certain color being the new Black. This year, black refuses to simply be absolute as charcoal- it aims at going down a tone or two. So that basically means there are interiors in shades of gray and black. The attractive point is that the monochromes not only complement each other, but very beautifully bring out the value of any other color around them.

Deep Green-blue

No, we are not talking about the teals or turquoises. Well, this shade is what you can call the best of both worlds.This color has proved to be a safe bet for those who fail to decide on one shade. It goes well with neutral schemes to give a calm and relaxing interior. And with zesty colors such as yellow, the hidden green in it beautifully complements the scheme. And the hidden blue softens the sharp contrast to eyes. No wonder it is a bestseller among the latest colors trending in interiors!

Other latest colors trending

Apart from the colors mentioned above there are many others that have grabbed the designers’ attention globally. Metallic colors seem to be the new neutrals. And yet, the demand for rich earthy tones refuses to settle down. A cousin of Yellow, the Marigold (mustard) color, has its own fan following. Of course, not to forget, the calm minds that still relish turquoise and emerald interiors!

The application of colors extend to landscapes as well. With the right mix, you update your current dwelling into your perfect home!
