Nurturing The Trend For Nature Inspired Paint Colours
The concept of bringing the outside in has captured the heart of the nation. Bifold doors link open plan living areas with gardens, blurring the transition from exterior to interior. And house plants have never been more popular – from trailing plants and lofty palms to statement Monstera. The obsession with all things natural has also permeated interior décor trends, with tropical print wallpapers and Victorian-inspired floral soft furnishing fabrics alongside a popular palette of natural paint tones.
A natural revolution
A recent collaboration between the Natural History Museum and Farrow & Ball has confirmed the trend for nature-inspired paint colour. Their ‘Colour by Nature’ collection has been curated with the tones of nature in mind, staying true to their distinctive colour names, the collection includes Broccoli Brown, Lake Red and Verdigris Green.
Dulux have also embraced this movement, announcing colour of the year 2021 – Brave Ground™ – a warm earthy tone that connects back to nature.
Social inspiration
Popular for a few years now, natural prints on wallpaper show no signs of going away. From modern twists on botanical designs to palm prints and bamboo patterns – bold, dark and dramatic colours steal the spotlight. Choose from daring, large-scale designs featuring woodlands, jungles, rain forests and tropical landscapes – perfect for all rooms, from bathrooms to the nursery. And you only have to browse Instagram, Pinterest and Houzz for inspiration from stylish homeowners.
Colour for windows
Here at Ventrolla, we’ve witnessed the resurgence of natural colours used in everyday interiors, too. Green is a current favourite, in all shades. Deep browns, cool greys, strong yellows and vibrant reds also play a key part. We’ve found that more customers than ever are wanting to paint their newly-renovated sash windows in contemporary tones – a stark contrast to years of windows being framed in whites and creams.
When renovating timber windows, for an extra charge, our customers can request bespoke coloured parting bead as an additional service from us. We can colour match any paint colour so that the parting bead (where the draught proofing is housed) matches the colour of the finished windows. We do this by obtaining the RAL number of the paint colour that you’ve chosen.
Alternatively, we have a standard range of six colours, including white, caramel, brown and black.
