The trend for sorbet pastels with a hot summer kick are sending designers wild. Even the slightest touches of these vibrant shades will quickly add vibrance to a dull room; whether it’s a cushion on your sofa or a lamp on your bedside table. Gradually work small accessories & soft furnishings into neutral settings, but avoid going over the top & sickly sweet with paler tones. The bright tones compliment each other very well, so be confident in your choices and mix both your colours and textures; old & new. To watch the pennies and recycle, a lick of bright paint to an old item of furniture will give it a new lease of life.
Here are a selection of my favourite vivid gelato colours to tickle your interior taste buds!
