Colour trends for a warming winter at home

BURGUNDY

Burgundy is definitely the ‘in’ shade for 2015, so much so that colour company Pantone named its direct relative, Marsala, colour of the year. This exotic-sounding hue is a deep, dusky red shade that’s warming, evocative and very classy. Burgundy and similar shades of red wine and marsala work equally well in either small or large areas. If you’re feeling adventurous, you might repaint a lounge room wall. Looking for something smaller? Opt for a rug and a throw to create a space that’s warm and inviting.

NAVY

While teal is still enjoying a certain status in hip hotels and restaurants, navy is the hottest blue tone for this season. Navy is a classic, rich colour that easily adds distinction to even the most casual of rooms. It’s versatile too, able to blend into all manner of design styles, from beach house to French provincial and Hamptons to hippy. Best of all, navy works equally well with white, and both light and dark timbers. To enhance any winter room, consider a modern or shag rug in deep blue, some scatter cushions, offset with a burgundy throw – or accessories in another favourite in-season tone, yellow or orange.

YELLOW AND ORANGE

For perfect, warming accents, consider yellow or orange. Yellow and orange are hot colours, and a clock, bowl, lamp, cushions or even feature wall in these friendly shades will easily add joy, warmth and brightness to any room.

GREY

Grey continues to be on-trend this year, and is a perfect complement for those richer, deeper winter hues. Grey also works well with white, and can add a touch of elegance to any room.
