PRIMARY COLOURS
A Bold & Timeless Trend in Interior Design
A vibrant splash of colour has the power to lift moods and alter the entire ambience of a room. And after the stress and trials of the last few years, most of us are feeling the need for a little levity. Little surprise then, that bold primary tones featured strongly as the standout home décor colour trend for 2023 at the trade shows.
What Are the Current Trending Home Décor Colours?
The primary colours- red, blue, and yellow- cannot be made by mixing any others, and in this simplicity lies their charm. Perhaps it is the way they remind us of childhoods spent mixing paints, but their effect is joyful. A splash of yellow to bring good cheer, emboldening red home accessories, or some intense blue accents delivering calm contentment.
Choosing Your Colour
Which colours you choose depends entirely on the atmosphere you wish to create, and on which you prefer! The secret is not to overdo it, or primary colours can become overwhelming. Instead, a few well-chosen home decorations are enough to wholly refresh and invigorate the look of your living space.

Here we’ve chosen some of our favourite examples, to give you an idea of what to look for when introducing Primary Colours into your home.
This unusual jug is delicately formed from porcelain to resemble crumpled paper, and its fluid lines appear almost organic. Redolent of the bluest of flowing waters, it would look equally at home decanting drinks as it would as a decorative centrepiece. Or why not emphasise its natural lines by using it as a vase, elegantly displaying fresh spring blossoms in your home? Made by Swedish brand BYON.
Polspotten’s goal is to ‘Add Play to Space’, and with this exuberantly hued side table they do just that. As versatile as it is striking, it can double up as a stool and requires minimal maintenance. Its sunshine yellow colour and clean bold lines are reminiscent of playtime and innocent days of childhood. Sure to put a smile on you and your guests’ faces, this is a little table that’s big on joy.
This Swedish-born artist specialises in patterns, and the flowing figures and brushstrokes in this piece evoke beautifully calm, fluid motion. The primary colours used are in subtly muted tones, meaning this artwork will fit with most neutral interior schemes without jarring. The kinship and merriment depicted make this print ideal for a dining space or anywhere you might entertain guests.
