Your guide to going dynamic with the Asian Paints colour of the year ‘Awakening’

Summer is all about vibrant and cool shades of pastel, says who? Noticeably, not this year! Having Asian paints declare ‘Awakening’ as the colour of the year, we are pumped to see a lot of awareness, drama, and exuberance especially when we think decor. Awakening as a colour is as powerful as it sounds, it’s a subsequent shade of plum, taking the right amount of intensity from purple and earthiness from brown it yields an uber inspiring hue which is vivacious, inviting and unapologetically bold.

Despite being a daring choice, it’s equally dynamic and settling to complement distinctive themes and palettes – from furniture to furnishing. To give your imagination a boost, here we go with our recommendations.

Design a cosier sitting using similar hues | A pair of plum chairs can add personality to an otherwise neutral room and to intensify the look further, give a mighty touch of mixed-metals – an amalgamation of trends is always a good idea! You can amplify the cosy vibe by being a little playful on hues – a dominating velvet sofa with pale purple-ish cushions, accompanied by a slouchy berry-blue leather armchair, and a rustic vase full of lovely purple orchids will come out beautifully.

Add a pop of power to your home office | Accentuate your home office with a textured plum-coloured wall and let it take the centre stage by keeping everything else muted in sleek white furniture and grey-tone artefacts. You could also add accents made of jute or bamboo straw to add a little rustic touch to your space.

Let your rug be inspired by the colour of the year | Enthrall your spirit by making a statement with a modish rug designed with pretty hues of plum, if you are a little colour-phobic then let a lighter tone takeover the palette, otherwise design a living room which exemplifies the eclectic vibe at its very best – add yellow curtains, a golden pendant chandelier and a few mind-boggling art pieces.

Say yes to the drama with lights | If you don’t want to go for extensive changes then lighting could be a clever way out – it’s an element that you can conceptualize as per your current theme and mood; Soft purple-tone lights on white walls will work wonder for your living space! The best part? You can switch your décor from voguish to classic in a jiffy, whenever-however required.

Do it minimal style to complement the existing maximal décor | If your space already boasts of dominating colours then adding more intensity might scatter the whole theme apart. In such a scenario, do a little more brainstorming and find out the areas that can support a pinch of drama without getting gawky – could be your reading table, closet or the dining area – figure out and add a couple of luxurious artefacts wherever you deem fit. C’mon ladies, take the charge and give wings to your creative skills.

Show your love for plum hues with Lilac kitchen | Just like all bold colours, plum goes very well with neutral walls but looks relatively more royal. The most elegant way to pull a Lilac kitchen is by keeping a contrast between everything white and industrial-style Lilac glass cabinets, although the shade card is open for experimentation.

Create a dramatic entryway | Drench the space in rich and bold hues of plum, this way you can design an extremely creative and impactful entrance: Imagine experiencing the mystery as you walk through a dramatic plum-coloured foyer and then land up in a bright living space. Go for it, it’ll feel even better than it sounds.

So ladies might as well awaken your designer soul with the hue ‘awakening’. Collect some time, sip on your wine because this release might be a sign to rethink your cosy nest. Get going!
