A fresh coat of paint, along with new accessories, is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to keep your home on trend. TeknosPro has teamed up with Nikki van Loon, an interiors consultant from Templeogue Décor, a TeknosPro stockist, to look at most popular colours for your home.
Energising accents, such as pink, orange and coral, are hot trends for 2019. Nikki recommends combining these with rich earthy tones, such as navy or charcoal. But, where should you apply the new colours? Walls are the obvious choice, with many moving from the bold statement walls to creating full feature rooms, but you can also paint your furniture, stairs, kitchen cabinets and even your front door with a range of colours from TeknosPro’s specialist portfolios.
Painting your furniture in energising accents, while maintaining your home’s existing colour schemes, is a great way to keep up with changing trends in colour. For example, you can paint a wooden coffee table in coral to contrast with your deep navy walls or to complement a neutral scheme. Nikki advises,
“Try Coral Dahlia or Sika, as they are beautiful on their own, against neutral tones and offer light and elegance against rich darker colours.”
This can easily be incorporated into any interior room, from your bedroom to your bathroom. Nikki comments,
“As homeowners are becoming braver this year, the use of dark colours is being seen everywhere.”
Floors can also incorporate the latest trends in colour. Why not choose a rich colour, such as TeknosPro’s French Blue, Bennett or Deep Sea, to create a runner on uncarpeted stairs; a simple solution to adding the latest fashionable colours into your home.
Alternatively, you can bring trendy tones into your home by adding a fresh coat of paint to your kitchen cabinets. Pinker shades are rising in popularity as they bring energy and optimism into a space which instantly uplifts a home. Nikki suggests mixing these with warmer hues to offer a counter balance.
To add the latest popular colours to the outside of your home, Nikki recommends painting the front door. It’s an easy way to keep up with changing colours and is an excellent way to add a bit of personality to your exteriors. TeknosPro’s coatings are weather resistant and long lasting; perfect for front doors! Nikki comments,
“Our most popular colours for front doors are deep charcoal tones and green shades.”
Incorporate on trend colours when freshening up your front door, and ask your decorator for a dark shade from TeknosPro, such as Treacle, or green shades, such as the light and delicate Dew or Townhouse or the richer tones of Georgian.
