Which Colour Trend Does 2019 Hold?
As 2018 comes to a close we reflect on the key colour trends, what 2019 has in store for us and how that reflects in our homes.
We have seen real experimentation of colour in the home this year, with lot's of muted soft pinks, forest greens, and earthy mustard, giving an art deco and heritage feel as this Dulux Kinship Palette represents.
Pantone has selected Living Coral as the 'The Colour of 2019'
This lively colour brings serious amounts of energy, so depending on how much you love it, perhaps start off sparingly.
We've collated some great examples of coral both inside and outside the home to make it easier to visualize it in different spaces. Whether in soft furnishings, a feature wall, flowers or tiles there are lots of ways to incorporate it in your home.
What colours should Coral be paired with?
Coral and white are a classic team, along with greys and of course navy in the living room pictured above with its statement wall.
It also plays nicely with greige (beige grey) and metallics, either silver or gold accents as with this gorgeous kitchen above.

What were 2018's key colours?
Early 2018 saw moody colours.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, we saw a lot of earthy tones in play this year, as with the Dulux Colour Kinship Palette
While earlier in the year, statement colours included black to inky blues and navy as pictured in Resene Habitat and here in this crisp dining room. Creating sophisticated spaces with confidence and personality.
Popular white options
The many whites on offer have also been popular in our interiors. 'black white' from Resene taking out their most purchased colour for 2018 (as pictured in the kitchen below) and Resene Alabaster a close second.
White's or slightly off white's offer a very safe and elegant backdrop for some key pieces, or a sharp Monochrome colour scheme.
Timeless and crisp, you can see the attraction. This colour scheme is ideal for getting a property ready to sell, as the scheme will appeal to the masses with neutrality at its base it allows the potential new owners somewhat of a 'blank canvas' to add their own personality to.
