Summer Paint Colours

We’ve gathered some of our favourite seasonal schemes to provide summertime colour inspiration for your next interior update. Discover design ideas from restful, soft pink bedroom shades to stand-out kitchen cabinetry colours…

Soft pink bedrooms

With their soothing, romantic quality, soft dusky pinks provide the perfect all-over paint colour for your bedroom. These gentle hues feel at home in interior schemes throughout the year, but particularly in the summer. They combine a feeling of freshness with inviting warmth, and reflect the beauty of our natural outdoor environment.

Consider the muted warm neutral, Mochi, which effortlessly accompanies soft textured furnishings in @no.54interiors’s bedroom scheme. Or opt for shades from the much-loved Masquerade family of elegant powdery pinks. The subtle pink, Masquerade – Mid, provides a peaceful atmosphere in @deco.dwelling’s light-filled dressing room

Bold kitchen cabinetry

Your kitchen cabinetry is the ideal host for bold summer paint colours that will bring personality and vibrancy to your palette. If your kitchen walls are painted neutral, incorporate a pop of colour on your cabinets to energise and enliven your scheme. Order a complimentary Little Greene colour card to explore our collection, and choose a shade that will make you smile every time you walk in your kitchen.

Rich, striking blues and greens are a wonderful colour choice. These shades work in both classic and contemporary schemes, creating connection with nature and beautifully complementing natural wood, brick or stone finishes. @upstyleyourhome added impact with Three Farm Green, while @housebymia chose Olive Colour to evoke warmth and luxury.

Relaxing light blues

Light blues are strongly associated with the summer season, capturing the reassuring shade of a cloudless sky. As a backdrop for prints, details and pieces, light blues can provide a nostalgic, coastal feel, transporting your home to a peaceful seaside location. Consider timeless paint colours like muted blues for your bedroom, living space or dining area to deliver a summer-like atmosphere of calm, relaxation and tranquillity.

Our Bone China Blue Colour Scales present four graduated hues, inspired by the classic Wedgwood blue. With perceptible warmth, these shades can be used with confidence in almost any interior setting. @claire.moran.designs (image by @anna.yanovski) chose Bone China Blue – Pale for an uplifting bedroom scheme, whilst Bone China Blue – Mid complements artwork from @sophielizabethmoore in @emuplops’s dining space.

Buttery sunshine yellows

Using yellow paint is one of the best ways to instil the essence of summer in your home. Whether you are feeling inspired by the change of season, or if you want to inject sunshine into your home on duller days, a confident yellow can instantly lift the mood of any room.

The yellows in our palette range from bright, radiant colours to deeper, earthier hues. If you’re looking for a shade to provide all-over warmth, consider soft and mellow, honey-toned yellows. The buttery light gold, Madeleine, is a beautiful bedroom colour to awaken your senses each morning, as seen in this scheme from @renovatingbluebell_. While @heatherricheshome chose Bassoon for a burst of yellow sunshine in this small cloakroom.
