Bodacious: Autumn – Winter Weekly Colour Report
Bodacious is definitely the most flexible colour in Pantone’s fall colour palette, and needn’t be limited to just winter room inspiration. This vibrant shade of purple can follow on into your summery room design ideas next year and still look fabulous, pairing brilliantly with a diverse mix of colour that ensures a genuinely unique statement in your home.
With hints of a more sophisticated pink tone, Bodacious is an intriguing and rich shade that is better defined as a ‘statement colour’, rather just another ‘accent’. Today, we show you how to create a totally Bodacious bedroom, with a collection of Pantone colours, both from their current palette and also from their upcoming spring selection – there’s nothing like being ahead of the game!
Bodacious’ hidden power is that it is such an unexpected colour trend to emerge at this time of year, and therein lies its beauty; due to almost all of Pantone’s fall palette consisting of muted shades, this lush purple is guaranteed to stand out and become an unavoidable focal point in your room design ideas.
Inject this statement colour into your bedroom through your roman blinds. Our design experts selected the full-bodied and refined Prestigious Trinidad Amethyst fabric as the perfect Bodacious proclamation in your decor; featuring a chic striped pattern, it lends a sumptuousness and style that will remain trendy long after winter is over.
To create a cool and modern ambience, try a mix and match of softer shades to enhance the beauty of Bodacious. Our interior stylists have chosen Sharkskin as the best base colour to accompany this bright purple, generating a stark contrast that helps to soften the blow of Bodacious, preventing it from looking crass. Whether you would prefer to have wallpaper or painted walls, this grey shade is a soothed and dynamic juxtaposition to the colour of your roman blinds.
Give the room a certain weightlessness with the ethereal shade of Airy Blue. Duvet sets or accessory cushions are the ideal way to include this mystical blue into your bedroom, helping to make your decor one of relaxation and serenity.
Another blue shade worth considering is one that is due to come into style in the spring, Island Paradise. Another statement colour, this refreshing aquatic tone adds a tropical tint to rival the brooding ambience created by Bodacious. Get ahead in your room inspiration by incorporating Island Paradise into your bedroom now; a subtle inclusion is best, such as a vase or lampshade, giving you scope to build on this in your spring decor.
The sparing use of earthier tones, such as Dusty Cedar pillowcases or a Warm Taupe headboard, help to complete your interior, lending some understated refinement and helping to unify the bolder colours into a state of harmonious balance.
