Bright hues are hot news this autumn

September 23rd, 2011 | by Wirginia Brad |

Bright colours have been huge news this year in both fashion and interior design circles, so it will come as no surprise that this trend is continuing into the autumn months of 2011. If you love floral designs, you’ll be a huge fan of one of the hottest looks to embrace this season. Bold hues and flowers are combining this autumn, so you’ll see splashes of colour injected around your bedroom if you follow the look. Try to avoid going for overkill though – if you go for patterned feature walls, it is definitely best not to go for floral designs on the duvet covers for your double beds

It’s not just bog-standard bright shades which are making a huge splash this season, acid brights are too. You should be looking for really, really bright colours, such as fuchsia pinks and lemon yellows, to decorate your room this year. If you’re not feeling brave enough to put the colour all over, you might want to just take a paintbrush to your bedroom furniture to add some bright hues to your room. Or, you could choose duvet covers which are bright and cheerful, findings ones which complement the bright-coloured accessories you’ve chosen to dot around the room. Whatever you decide to do to your bedroom, whether it’s adding a feature wall, some bold, patterned wallpaper or even a coloured carpet, the mantra you really need to remember is ‘the brighter, the better’. Autumnal shades may usually be hot in the latter months of the year, but in 2011, brights are definitely continuing to rule the roost, so you’d be wise to bear that in mind when updating your bedroom.Wallpaper or paint can be used to achieve the look; it doesn’t matter, just so long as whatever you do adds a much-needed splash of colour to your room, without detracting from the homeliness of it.
