Autumn is just around the corner and it cannot be denied that it is a magical time of year. From the official countdown to Halloween and Christmas to amber-hued foliage, delicious warming meals like casseroles, roast dinners and hot pots, and the start of the school year - autumn is both a time for renewal and hibernation.
With the start of any new season, it is important that you reflect and take a look at your home decor - is there anything you would like to change and renovate? If so, how about your wall colours? We often take inspiration from the outside world for our interiors, so why not decorate your home and be influenced by the rich warm shades that are in abundance at this time of year? Below, we have put together our favourite autumnal shades to get you ready for the new season.
Terracotta
The warm tones of terracotta make it the perfect cosy colour for your living areas or hallways. Not only will it bring a sense of autumn into your interiors, but it also is a colour that will look beautiful all year round. Terracotta is a colour and material that is popular in Mediterranean regions, making it a summery European hue too.
Green
Like terracotta, shades of green can complement the walls of your home all year round. However, no matter your preference, shades like sage green or dark forest green make the perfect homage to autumn. Both sage and forest green will suit large and small rooms. The rich hues of forest green will add elements of grandeur to a large dining room or living area, whereas sage is lighter and will make the more compact rooms in your home seem bigger.
Berry Tones
Rich red wine hues and purple blackberry shades are also heavily prevalent at this time of year. Although these may initially sound like an unusual addition to your interior walls, they can add a real sense of richness and luxury to your home. Like terracotta shades, dark red will warm the home and is the perfect shade for period properties with high ceilings and tall walls. On the other hand, purple hues like mauve, mulberry, plum and aubergine are ideal for smaller spaces like bathrooms and bedrooms.
These shades are brave additions to your home, simply as they vary from the norm of white or cream coloured walls, however, they can pack a punch when applied thoughtfully. These colours will complement a range of other luxurious interior choices, like oil paintings, gold frames, marble and stone worktops, velvet sofas and turkish rugs.
An essential for any interior and exterior home renovation is a small scaffolding tower or ladder, enabling you to reach new heights when painting your home and create a flawless finish. Here at TopTower, we have a range of access equipment that you can hire for your project. To find out more about our variety of products, simply contact us today.
