For years, neutral tones have been the trend for interior design. Beige, millennial grey and off-white have been safe choices that are easy to style around.

That’s starting to change! More people are starting to swap safer neutrals for colours that add warmth, personality and stand out from the beige. To add an instant pop of colour into your room go for coloured and patterned blinds. They can be put to the side during the day and bring brightness and colour into the space when they’re closed. Perfect for lifting the spirits during darker nights! Whether you’re in Preston, Leyland, Fulwood or Chorley, it’s easy to add colour that works for your home without overwhelming it.

Living Room Colour Trends 2025/26

The living room is one of the most used rooms in a home, and in 2025/26 it’s all about deeper, richer colours that create a cosy yet sophisticated space. Warm browns and caramel shades are leading the way, adding depth without feeling flat or overly bright for a relaxing lounge. These tones are a natural step up from plain neutrals and pair beautifully with wood, leather and soft furnishings.

Full-bodied reds, such as rich burgundy, are also predicted to make a big impact. Used on a feature wall or even just through cushions and throws, they create an instant focal point that feels warm and inviting.

If you’re not quite ready to go for the warm tones in the living room than try something more natural, like sage green. Valspar’s 2026 Colour of the Year, “Warm Eucalyptus,” brings a restorative quality to the living room and works brilliantly with natural light filtered through elegant blinds.

Bedroom Colours for Rest and Relaxation

The bedroom should always feel relaxing, and soft colours are perfect for creating that calm atmosphere. Gentle blues paired with crisp whites are a timeless choice, giving a fresh and peaceful feel.

For those who find plain white too stark, warm cream tones are also popular. Cream gives you a neutral base but with added softness and character, keeping the room soothing but not cold. We recently installed white Vision Roller Blinds at a property in Chorley. These warm white blinds help to create an inviting space without bring too strong of a contrast or clashing with the rooms bold style.

Kitchens with Colour and Character

Kitchens are often practical spaces, but that doesn’t mean they need to lack personality. Earthy chestnut browns are trending, creating warmth while still feeling grounded. For something bolder, unexpected violets are popping up in kitchen design. While unusual, this colour works brilliantly in small doses, think blinds above a sink or painted cupboards to bring in a pop of colour.

Tips for Choosing Brightly Coloured blinds

Colourful blinds are one of the easiest ways to bring life into a room without the need to start repainting the walls! They add personality straight away, whether you choose a sunny yellow for a cheerful kitchen or a bold teal to lift a neutral living room. Because blinds are practical as well as decorative, they let you play with colour in a way that doesn’t overwhelm the space. Pairing vibrant blinds with softer curtains and other soft furnishings keeps the balance just right, so the room feels fun and stylish rather than too busy.
