Introducing colourful new lighting trends
Bright Colour Pops within interior design are trending. Which prompts the question why is
colour in interior design so on trend and is it right for you?
Bright colours seem to be trending for several reasons, reflecting shifts in societal
preferences and it seems we simply want some joy and originality in our lives. Dopamine
interiors are so coveted and with this in mind we have introduced a series of more
colourful light fixtures to brighten your living space taking your lighting to a whole new
level.

For those wanting to introduce a little colour accent, the addition of a little pop of colour with a
table lamp is an ideal choice. If you prefer a more maximalist riot of colours adding a
contrast colour as an accent works well.
We also want to break the mundane of the blander interior styles of the recent past
and design trends that resonate with our audience, you! We all know trends have shifted
from more prescribed interior to more personal choice so what colours would you choose?
If you are seeking to create a more cohesive look to your decor and want to include a
matching set of lights, or if you fancy combining a couple of colours to coordinate with your
existing look, not a problem, two-tone lighting will help you obtain a perfectly coordinated
style.
Here are some reasons why bright colours might be worth considering for your next decor project:
Mood Enhancement: Bright colours can uplift moods and create a sense of
positivity and energy. Especially during times of uncertainty or stress, people may gravitate
towards vibrant hues to inject joy and optimism into their surroundings.
Expression of Individuality: Bright colours allow for self-expression and
individuality. In a world where personal expression is increasingly valued, vibrant hues offer a way for people to showcase their unique personalities and preferences.
Escape from Monotony: In recent years safer muted or neutral tones were
favoured, now we are seeing the additions of bright saturated colours. The accenting with
joyful colours can provide a refreshing break from monotony. They inject vitality and
excitement into spaces, making them more visually stimulating and engaging. Add a pop
of colour to enliven your room.

Influence of Pop Culture: Pop culture, including music, fashion, and art, often
embraces bold and vibrant colours. Trends in these art forms can influence interior design,
leading to a surge in popularity for bright colour schemes.
Social Media Influence: Platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok play a
significant role in shaping design trends. Images showcasing colourful interiors or vibrant
decor can quickly gain traction, inspiring others to incorporate similar elements into their
own spaces.
Embracing Diversity: Bright colours celebrate diversity and inclusivity. They reflect
the richness of different cultures and traditions, encouraging a more eclectic and dynamic
approach to design. I guess we all see more interiors from around the globe via the social
platforms.
Nostalgia and Retro Revival: Bright colours reminiscent of past eras, such as the
vibrant hues of the 1980s and 1990s, often experience a resurgence in popularity.
Nostalgia for these periods can fuel the trend towards brighter colour palettes. Take a peak
at our recent 80’s blog to see how the influences are being incorporated in today’s
interiors.
Bold Design Statements: Bright colours such as berry red with contrasting pink
are particularly impactful and make a bold design statement. Colour whether used
sparingly as accent pieces, or applied more liberally throughout a space brings a playful
pop that just shows a bravery of style and spirit. These colour pops can inject personality
and drama into interiors, creating visually striking environments. Springing from this colour
clashing is gaining traction and we expect to see the trend explode with unexpected colour
combinations.
Technological Advancements: Advances in technology, such as improved colour
replicating techniques, make it easier to produce and incorporate specific vibrant colours
into design elements such as lighting. You could be your own lighting designer
with custom lighting in custom colours available to all of us. Previously only people
that wanted large scale bespoke lighting for things such as commercial projects could consider such
a bespoke option by specifying an RAL colour, which is an industry standard colour
matching system, but now you can pick a colour from a brand such as Dulux, Farrow and
Ball or Laura Ahsley and a light can be made in that hue. Designing your own light, in your own specified
colour combination is within your grasp.
Overall, the trend towards bright colours reflects a desire for creativity, vibrancy, and
individual expression in interior design. It just brings a sense of fun and joy, be a shade
braver and go for a bold colour, one that makes you happy! And why not, it’s your home
your style, your choice!
