Finally, Spring has arrived and it’s a great time to be alive, isn’t it? As the seasons change so do the colours in nature and these Spring colours will be reflected in many homes and offices. It is said to be a time for new beginnings so why not give your interiors and exteriors a facelift this Spring and splash out on a whole new colour scheme?
If you agree, perhaps you would like a few ideas, based on international trends of what will be in this Spring, both in the home and offices of those who prefer colour to drab surroundings. These, then are our three favourite great Spring paint colour trends for 2022!…
Natures naturals
Not surprisingly, especially in a stunning place like Cape Town where we are surrounded by the beauty of nature, a great favourite this Spring will be the natural hues and overtones of Spring in the region. The general trend for 2022 is to go lighter, so we match a feeling of space with warm subtle colours. Think light greens, yellows and splashes of orange all melting into a feeling of being surrounded by nature.
Light colours
Rumour has it Designers are opting this Spring for lighter shades in interior paint and decor objects. As one Designer put it ‘’lighter hues of blues, greens, pinks, and even yellows. It’s less about the actual colour and more about the presence of light!’’ This makes sense as living and office spaces are becoming smaller and smaller due to the demand for property and the high cost of building. Lighter shades create a feeling of space illuminated by colour.
Historic colours
Particularly in Cape Town where there is an ambience of historic dwellings and old stately Cape Dutch homes, historic colours are also a favourite with Interior designers this year. So, what are historic colours? As one paint colour specialists describes it, these colours are “Bold yet subtle in tone with a sense of opulence.” These colours are typically the clay-based reds of the earth, dusty shades of roses and the yellows of marigolds.
