Light is an increasing source of inspiration for designers, with the integration of scientific and technological developments creating amazing results. This fusion of technology and design is enabling light to be used in innovative new ways so be inspired by this trend to light up your life!

This trend clearly marks the renaissance of 'blue', with a spectrum of colours that vibrate and glow with a brilliance relating to a positive ray of light. This trend is an evolution of our Imperial Glamour trend.

By using a palette based on dark deep-sea and deep-space shades of Atlantis green, deep amethyst, and ultramarine, illuminated by radiant accent colours of peacock blue and oasis green, with a final addition of jet black. Create an illuminating fantasy with large seating in simple shapes, upholstered in leather and shimmering silks; select LED and feather patterned wallpapers and introduce special effect finishes such as glitter, reflective sequins and foils on everything from wall coverings, furniture, bedding and accessories. Geometric patterns on soft furnishings and wallpapers add a scientific dimension to this trend.

Add coloured glass pendant lighting; high-shine, glazed ceramic and glass vases with cracked mosaic and peacock inspired finishes; and piles of sequined and beaded cushions in brilliant shades of purple, dark blue, and black.

With mosaic-style vinyl flooring in blue; thick, velvet-pile carpets in dark blues and greens, and chocolate; and sexy dark wood flooring with geometric patterned rugs to create a wonderfully intense atmosphere. This trend is perfect for lounges and bedrooms and will create a sumptuous wow factor!
