Say hello to Spiced Honey, our Colour of the Year 2019
Get one step ahead of the colour curve by using 2019’s hottest hue in your home: Spiced Honey. Our Colour of the Year – chosen by a panel of global colour experts – is a rich, warm shade that works perfectly with this season’s new neutrals. Combine with dusky pink and cream, then layer with copper and soft grey accents, a lived-in leather chair or sofa, wooden accessories and sumptuous textured furnishings for a touch of hotel chic with real-home warmth.
Pair your luxurious new colour palette with seriously plush accessories – beautiful and practical...
1. When it comes to soft furnishings, complementary shades and contrasting textures add interest and depth.
2. For balance, sleek, minimalist touches like a statement clock keep neutrals modern.
3. Natural accents, like wood or stone, feel laid-back but luxurious.
4. This vintage-look, leather Hackney armchair from DFS is just the thing to bring the scheme together.
Add understated elegance to your bedroom by topping Soft Stone walls with a ceiling height border in rich Spiced Honey. Natural wooden flooring pairs perfectly with the palette and ensures the look is as functional as it is fun; while a retro side table and an oval-shaped mirror make for simple but stylish accessories. Complete the effect with crisp white bedlinen and a smattering of cosy cushions in warm neutrals.
Accentuate the sumptuousness of Spiced Honey walls – and keep the look modern – by adding horizontal stripes around the top, in the subdued tones of Just Walnut and Soft Stone. Furnish with comfortable, contemporary pieces for the warmest of welcomes, and sharpen up the scheme with structural light fittings.
“Colour-blocking with a small area of Spiced Honey creates a big impact on a chimney breast. Pair with off-white walls and layers of smart pale, grey and black accessories, together with a hints of pink to soften the look.”
