Forge a new look with glacier-cool blue steel shades.
The colour wheel has taken a spin, and the new blue steel palette is cool in tone and riveting to use.
Dish it up
This HK Living powder-coated aluminium serving dish is light enough to pass around but packs a lot of colour punch and will bring roasts and vegetables to life over the coming months.
It measures 35.5 cm long and is 24.5 cm wide and costs €39, excluding delivery, from Smallable.
Meals on wheels
Designed by Belgian duo Muller Van Severen, Hay’s Arcs trolley is both functional and decorative, with elegant, scalloped edges supported on slim legs.
Made of powder-coated steel, it comes in different colour options and two-tier, €299, or three-tier, €349, options, to order. For stockists, visit the website.
Add a French accent
A very simple way to channel the trend is to invest in some new scatter cushions for seating or bedding. French online store La Redoute has some of the most eye-catching options.
Piazza is a graphic chain stitch design, 45 cm square, that costs €27.99, while the Bikka rectangular selection, 50 cm by 30 cm, costs from €27.99 to €35.99.
Metal mood in the bedroom
Heatherton is a soft and sumptuous cotton/ polyester velvet by Harlequin that comes in 25 different colours, with cool blues called Atlantic, the colour of the ocean in winter; Beau, the palest of hues; Celestial, a diamond blue; and Riviera, an off-season shade shown here on the bedcover and headboard.
With a tactility that is reminiscent of mohair, it is suitable for both upholstery and drapery; Heatherton is finished with a stain-repellent treatment.
It costs about €101 per metre to order from Brian S. Nolan in Dun Laoghaire.
A new neutral
The colour wheel has been spun, and The Little Greene Paint Company has just launched a new range of 22 scaled colours that includes graduated tones of particular shades that work really well as neutrals.
Pictured is Celestial Blue, an aqua blue that can appear green, blue or grey, depending on the light. Pair with chartreuse yellow for a real sense of refresh.
Five litres of matte costs €132 from Stillorgan Décor.
Easy-to-install texture
Rebel Walls x Surface Atelier is a collection of prints that will add texture and, in some instances, vibrancy to walls.
The stick-on murals can be printed on demand to the customer's own measurements. Pictured is Veneer, which features on the walls and within the coffered ceiling.
It costs €52 per square metre.
