INTERIOR COLOUR Trend Forecast from Paint Place Leading Australian Paint Retailer, Paint Place has once again delivered its annual trend forecast for 2016/17 through a series of trend forecast colours and themes specifically developed for Australian interiors. This year’s themes and colours were developed by well-‐ known Trend Forecaster Lucy Sutherland. Lucy is a colour and trend expert and a leading commentator on all things related to interior trends. She is a judge on House & Garden Top 50 rooms and has featured as one of the Top 50 women in design over the past 2 years. She works with major Australian retailers and manufactures to identify trend movements and concepts and relates them back into Australian homes. “This years trends are a homage to all things natural. The shapes, the textures and the colours that surround us. We are harking back to simplicity and with a slightly quirky 70’s influence. Colour is our friend and is used to make a statement. Moody blue bedrooms where the colour totally envelops you, lush botanical green walls overlaid with 70’s style plants, and neutral rooms where textures of leather, fur and timber are use to add soul and substance.” Lucy Sutherland Each of the 4 themes were developed into a series of room shots and styled vignettes to illustrate the essence of each trend and interpret it into real interiors. The shots were taken by leading Melbourne based Interiors photographer Nicole England and a styling team who transformed an inner city home into a series of themed spaces
into the wild
“Take a walk on the wild side with natural materials and nature inspired themes to create a living space that is both enveloping and grounded. Animal photography, natural leather textures and tones contrasted with the warmth of wool and faux fur work alongside warm natural colours in shades of deep charcoal, soft earth and grey green,”
“Enveloping and grounded”
moody blues “Deep and moody, shade on shade, surround yourself in the comforting tones of deep blues. This impactful trend works perfectly in bedrooms and living areas where you want to create a sophisticated, restful space. Layer shades of blue together with touches of pattern and texture. Finish the look with accessories in rough linen textures, raw timber, chalky ceramics and a touch of metallic.”
“Deep and moody, shade on shade”
into the woods “ Become at one with nature and embrace the outside in. Surround yourself with the lush tones of natural foliage and textures. Raw timber, natural motifs, large scale indoor plants and terrariums, wicker and rattan all work together to make your living space more grounded and calming. Rich greens with accents of soft terracotta work in combination with soft grey greens and creamy white.”
“Embrace the outside in”
BLUSH
“ Soft and sophisticated, neutral or relaxed, Blush takes on it’s own identity as a decorating staple. Soft blush has become one of our go to neutrals, working as a stunning accent against soft greys, crisp whites and deep charcoals. Layer your look with natural timber, textured rugs and contrasting fabrics and weaves to create a soft relaxed look. Add in accessories in Copper or Marble for an elegant touch.”
