Full-colour décor: the rule of the neutrals is coming to an end

After years in which a palette of soft, neutral shades has been greatly favoured for decorating both indoors and out, a new trend is now taking hold: the return of colour in all its splendour. This option results in spaces which ooze life and stylishness, where colours drenched with brightness reign supreme. What’s in are daring mixtures, dynamic colourful eclectic environments of great visual richness. Everything seems to be saying that it’s time to break the monotony and give way to colour. So, please take note, because we’re telling you how to join this trend, inside and outside the home.

The power of paint when it comes to transforming spaces

Walls have ceased to be simple neutral backgrounds to become canvases for experimenting with a wide-ranging colour palette. Drenched tones like deep greens and blues, vibrant reds and sunny yellows take centre stage, infusing every spot with energy and vitality. In this way, paint becomes the perfect medium for creating dynamic environments full of character, where creativity knows no limits and every brushstroke is an expression of style and originality.

Gancedo offers a line of Premium paints in a palette carefully chosen by experts in colour and interior design. A collection which greatly facilitates the mixing and matching of the colour of the walls with the colourways of fabrics and wallpapers. Especially with this type of wall coverings: be it in interiors where only one surface is papered, on walls decorated with a skirting board or paper frieze, or even when it comes to matching the paper with the ceiling colour, it’s important to hit on the exact same shade of paint as the one on the paper, if at all possible.

Colour also on terraces and in gardens

This renaissance of colour is not limited to interiors, but also extends to outdoor spaces. Have a go at mixing lush plants with furniture and vibrant accessories to create fresh, stimulating atmospheres. Emerald green, dark blue, orange…they’ll help you to create an environment that suggests relaxation and enjoyment of the open air.

The outdoor textiles in the Summerhouse Collection by Gancedo are the perfect choice for bringing this trend to your terrace or garden. The patterns, hand painted by Álvaro Picardo using Gancedo paints, are available in a series of designs emulating cane interwoven to produce a rattan look, as in the case of Canasta, but there’s also experimentation with different geometric motifs in the Barbican designs and the Ticking Cadaqués stripes. These are clean, powerful patterns in deep colours which, against the matt white background, appear bigger like relief patterns.

They come in 4 colours taken from the company’s selection of shades: Ketchup, Forest, Honey, Navy and Taupe. Colours which serve the author’s desire to use contrast as the focus of his compositions.

Interiors with a daring touch

Textiles are the perfect resource for adding a dose of character and originality to any environment. Be bold with contrasting colours, mix prints on curtains and cushions, play with different textures and materials…You’ll see how the décor turns out to be visually richer. Summerhouse fabrics have a natural look, perfect both for indoors and out. Being printed on an acrylic/linen base makes them soft and comfortable. They come in a 160 cm width.

Gancedo has also created a series of decorative elements upholstered in Summerhouse fabrics, such as the Trenat stools designed by Miguel Milá and the Lobster’s Day sunshades.

Bring your walls alive

What’s more, a wide selection of wallpapers, also hand painted by Álvaro Picardo, rounds off the collection. These feature simple, basic minimalist patterns created by using different shapes and colours. These non-woven papers, measuring 52 cm wide by 10 metres in length, can be used in any room in the house. The colour palette is rich and varied, also matching the tones of the Gancedo paints. These are energizing, powerful, vibrant colours among which Navy blues, Sunshine yellows and Ketchup reds stand out, transporting us to the cool relaxed environments of holiday homes.

For your contract projects

The Summerhouse Collection fabrics, as well as being an option full of style for residential spaces, also offer great potential to the contract sector. Their toughness and durability make them ideal for use in hotels, restaurants and other commercial spaces where high resistance to wear-and-tear and weather conditions is required.

Besides which,  being manufactured in Europe with Oeko-tex certification guarantees not only the quality of the product but also its safety and environmental friendliness, which is a crucial factor in the contract sector where responsible, sustainable solutions are sought. With these fabrics, designers and architects can create attractive, vibrant environments, without compromising either quality or aesthetics, making them an extremely attractive option for all types of contract projects.
