A bit of extra light and sparkle is what many people want at this dark time of year, and choosing a new, winter colour scheme can transform a home into a cosy winter sanctuary – as our professional team of decorators at Scott Anson Painters and Decorators Ltd would suggest from years of experience.
Wintery Blues With a Touch of Sparkle
A rich blend of wintery blues can create a snug and relaxing atmosphere in any room. Meanwhile, adding a touch of sparkle with metallic tones – such as gold and copper or a bold mustard yellow – can add warmth to a colour scheme and contrast the shades of blue beautifully.
Warm Neutrals and Dark Details
You can bring a hint of warmth to a room with neutral tones such as cream, taupe or tan. These lighter tones can keep a space feeling bright but warm, while the addition of dark details painted in rich browns or black can make an interior pop.
Cosy Reds for Extra Comfort
While red may not be a colour immediately associated with winter, a cushy room decorated with warming tones of pomegranate or brick red can be the perfect antidote to the cold, dark winter days.
Earth Tones for Understated Luxury
Earth tones such as grey, beige and forest green can be the perfect option for understated luxury. These natural tones can help with creating a relaxing and serene interior.
Bold Black With a Contrast Colour
Black paint can make a real impact in any room. While it may seem too dark for most people, when combined with a contrasting colour scheme and the right interior design, black can be the perfect option for creating a glamorous, luxury interior.
Any interior decoration project starts with a well-crafted plan, so before deciding on a new winter colour scheme it is important to consider things such as the size of the room, what kind of natural light it gets, the colour of the existing furniture and what kind of ambience the new colour scheme is supposed to create. Whether the aim is to add a touch of luxury or create a whole new look, keeping these basic factors in mind can make it easier to get started with creating the perfect winter hideaway.
