There’s something magical about summer sun. It brings feelings of excitement, layers of warmth and a dose of nostalgia. The cheerful sunshine hue is in natural abundance this season, but it also makes a case for being the perfect transitional home décor colour that can take us from summer to fall.
The timeless shade is also effortlessly trendy and was highlighted in Pantone’s Autumn/Winter 2022/2023 New York Fashion Week Colour Palette with Samoan Sun – a tone that “enlightens and illuminates”. It also popped up as Spicy Mustard within Pantone’s London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2022/2023 report and was described as “strikingly exotic”. Taking cues from the fashion world, you’ll see that these golden yellows will not only bring a burst of happiness into the home, but they also deliver endless versatility. From eye-catching decorative accents, to larger impact pieces that immediately elevate the style of a space, it’s clear that this colour edit is anything but mellow.
Reminiscing about the lemon trees on the Amalfi Coast? Bring that citrus motif into your home with an unexpected and dramatic dark background for ultimate sophistication. If you’re loving those dreamy sunflower fields popping up on your Instagram and Pinterest feeds, then this is your sign to welcome those sunny hues into your living spaces. Because, the summer sun may be fleeting, but its colour inspiration is a forever kind of thing.
