As the days begin to turn darker, so does our colour palette. Pantone’s Fall 2016 shades are a sedate shift from the bright and bold tones we brought to you throughout the spring and summer months. However, many of the new colours strongly reflect their spring counterparts, just in more subdued shades; the vivid tone of Fiesta Red has been replaced with the deep and romantic Aurora Red, while Spicy Mustard has substituted Buttercup.

This autumnal palette is stacked with an even more varied range of colour than our Spring-Summer Collection, and over the coming months we at Roman Blinds Direct will be showcasing each one in turn, providing room inspiration on how they can be incorporated into your autumn decor.

We will be taking an in-depth look at each of the ten colours in turn, exploring the potential room design ideas you can create with them, and how they can be best used in the home.

For the time being though, this week, we are merely going to briefly introduce you to Pantone’s top ten, must-have colours for autumn 2016. These are the very colours our interior designers took inspiration from when compiling our exclusive Autumn-Winter Collections 2016, and we hope they provide you with room inspiration for your own decor, too.

Airy Blue

Adding a mystical and airy dimension to a home, Airy Blue brings a weightless and refreshing edge, not unlike Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2016, Serenity, and can be paired with an eclectic mix of other shades.

Dusty Cedar

Reminiscent of one of Pantone’s Colours of the Year 2016, Rose Quartz, Dusty Cedar is a duskier version of the pinks we see in spring.
