Creative colour pairings for your home

Journal Creative colour pairings for your home

Rejuvenating your space with beautiful colours can really lift the spirits and helping you to create a welcoming and comfortable home is what we're all about.

With this in mind, we have put together five truly pleasure-enhancing home colour schemes below, guaranteed to help make your space a calming and soothing place to be. Which home interior colours bring you pleasure? 

Earthy Outdoor Tones

Let nature inspire you with her earthy tones, which are gaining popularity in interiors during 2022. Offering a glorious spectrum of greens, browns, yellows and neutrals, these beautiful, subtle tones add depth, interest and a sense of optimism to interior design schemes.

Earthy Tones

Mediterranean Warmth

Embrace unabashedly the colours of Italy and Greece and imagine they are sending their warm and welcoming hues of terracotta, soft white, copper and burnt orange your way. With such sun-drenched tones brought into our living spaces, we can warm our hearts, fuel our imaginations and each create our own tranquil paradise.

Layered Greys and Striking Greens

Using layers of natural colours remains a strong feature in interior trends. The use of multiple tones of the same colour creates luxurious richness and warmth. Greys and greens are particularly popular colour combinations. This way of layering tones is mellow and relaxed and suits all schemes, whether they be Mid-Century, Deco, Scandinavian or traditional in feeling. Complementing these colours with deeply toned timbers and metals can really enhance the reassuring, luxurious effect.

Soft Pinks

How about introducing some joyful colour to your home with splashes of pastel hues?  Styling with soft pinks is also set to be a huge trend in 2022. As Manet knew, using a blush or sun-kissed pink adds exquisite warmth and enhances the drama of black and white and these colour pairings can work in both traditional and modern settings. 

If you’re planning on purchasing a John Sankey piece, remember that our furniture collections can be completely customised, so you can create your own pieces inspired by your favourite paintings. Simply browse our selection of fabrics to begin customising your chosen piece.

Deep Blues 

Deep blues pair effortlessly with subtle neutrals such as taupe and white. For a really comforting and luxurious finish, add scatter pillows in warm, spiced tones such as mustard or copper and introduce brass in metalwork - these flourishes prevent the palette from becoming sombre. Our brass sabots (shown on the feet below), and a beautiful assortment of elemental, warm colours are available on our furniture pieces to help you get this look just right, whether your mood is modern or traditional.
