Introducing the Contemporary Colour Palette
Welcome to our 2023 blog series, where we explore the world of colour, style, and design. Showing you how you can bring any aesthetic to life in your home with the help of Fusion™ Mineral Paint. April’s design palette is all about the Contemporary Style. Inspiring you to create a sophisticated vibe that is both calming and energizing. The right colours can play a huge role in achieving this!
Our Contemporary inspiration colour palette includes a selection of shades from Fusion™ Mineral Paint that we think are perfect for creating this look.
- Casement: Our go-to lightest warm white, Casement is a crowd favourite. Inspired by summer’s warm breeze through open windows. Fresh and forward.
- Victorian Lace: Romantic in every way, this multitone white is perfectly balanced between warm and cool. This shade is inspired by the intricate details of its namesake.
- Mustard: Warm and golden, this muddy yellow adds depth and personality to any piece.
- Seaside: The perfect deep coastal blue. This shade works beautifully on its own or with neutrals to create the perfect beach side atmosphere.
- Soap Stone: A favourite deep grey, one of those shades that is totally dependent on its surroundings. Slightly purple undertones are highlighted with the changing light in the room, creating a stunning sense of balance.
- Peony: This delicate pink is a soft blush, yet can be the centre of attention.
Contemporary Design Style
The contemporary design style is characterized by clean lines, minimalist elements, and a neutral colour palette. The neutral colour palette typically consists of whites, greys and blacks, with occasional pops of bright colour. The design style celebrates simplicity and utilizes a combination of natural and man-made materials to create a sleek, uncluttered look. It focuses on function rather than form, with design elements that serve a specific purpose.
How To Create a Contemporary-Inspired, Kid-Friendly Living Room
Creating a contemporary living room that is kid friendly is all about balancing colours and styles that both adults and children love. With the Contemporary inspiration colour palette from Fusion™ Mineral Paint, you can create a space that emphasizes sleek, modern aesthetics with a focus on minimalism and function.
Creating a contemporary-inspired, kid-friendly living room requires a balance of functionality, style and fun. Here are some steps to help guide you:
- Choose a neutral foundation: Start with a neutral base for your furniture, such as a light-coloured sofa that is easy to clean. This allows you to add pops of colour through decorative pillows, throws or accent chairs.
- Use durable materials: Choose materials that can withstand wear and tear from kids, such as leather, microfiber or synthetic fabrics.
- Opt for child-friendly décor: Include child-friendly elements, such as colourful rugs, playful wall art, and comfortable, kid-friendly accent chairs.
- Focus on lighting: natural light creates a warm, inviting space. Natural light also plays a crucial role in children’s overall health and well-being, from improving mood and cognitive function to promoting healthy sleep, eye health and bone development.
- Finish with pops of colour: Finish off the space with energetic and playful pops of bold colours and patterns.
Overall, creating a contemporary-inspired living room that also caters to kids requires careful planning and balancing functionality and style to create a fun and comfortable space for the whole family.
