The Rise & Rise of Colourful Interiors…
If you know my work, then you know I love to play with colour as well as texture and shape. The maximal interiors trend for vibrant, colourful homeware has gained popularity in recent years as a departure from more minimalist and neutral colour schemes. Here are some key aspects of this trend that I love and make it so joyful…
Vibrant Hues: Colourful interiors embrace bold and vibrant hues, ranging from bright primary colours to rich jewel tones. These colours add energy, personality, and visual interest to a space, creating a dynamic and lively atmosphere.
Mixing and Matching: Rather than sticking to a single colour palette, this trend often involves mixing and matching different colours to create eclectic and playful combinations. This can include pairing contrasting colours or layering various shades within the same colour family for depth and dimension. See my plates & bowls to create a mix and match collection…
Statement Pieces: Colourful interiors often feature statement furniture or decor pieces in eye-catching colours. These pieces serve as focal points within a room, drawing attention and adding personality to the space. Examples include brightly coloured sofas, accent chairs, rugs, or artwork.

Pattern Play: Patterns play a significant role in colourful interiors, adding another layer of visual interest and texture. Patterned wallpapers, bold geometric prints, and intricate designs can be incorporated into various elements of the decor, such as upholstery, curtains, or throw pillows.
Global Influence: Many colorful interiors draw inspiration from global design trends and cultural motifs. This can result in eclectic and bohemian-inspired spaces that feature a mix of coloUrs, patterns, and textures from different parts of the world.
Natural Elements: While the focus is on color, incorporating natural elements such as clay, wood, plants, or stone can help balance the vibrancy and add warmth to the space. These elements provide grounding and contrast to the bold colors, creating a harmonious and inviting environment.
Personalization: Colorful interiors offer ample opportunities for personalization and self-expression. Choose colours and decor items that reflect your unique tastes, interests, and personality, resulting in a home space that feel authentic and curated.
Emotional Impact: Colours have the power to evoke emotions and affect mood, and colourful interiors are no exception. Bright and cheerful colours can uplift spirits and create a sense of joy and optimism - and this for me is what its all about. Creating ceramics that spread joy!
