COLOUR ME HAPPY

Forget greyscapes: as we launch into 2022 interiors are full of positivity with bright, primary colours that aim to lift the mood while nodding to the past

ANTIQUE ROSE CARPET

Embrace the optimism of strong bold shades by adopting the colour blocking technique. Position deeply saturated hues next to each other to evoke a playful, happy atmosphere that winks to the style of the 1970s. Start with the floor up with the Carousel Twist carpet, which comes in a variety of colours, seen here in Antique Rose. £15.99 per sqm, carpetright.co.uk

VIBE GLASS VASE

The colourful interior trend has a distinctly retro personality as seen here with this vase that’s been inspired by the designs of the 1970s. Its deep jewel tones fit in perfectly with this uplifting scheme, while the elongated, textured body boasts a grownup elegance. You don’t want to create a playroom here: take note, this is a trend that takes happiness seriously!

£40, mintandmay.co.uk

TUATARA TUNDER

A statement piece of art will give your space a sophisticated finishing flourish and while this inevitably means spending a little, it’s an investment that you won’t regret. This joyful abstract piece suitably references the abstract expressionist artists who worked with colour field, such as Rothko. £1,017, kirstyblackstudio.com

PANTON STYLE S CHAIR

The ‘ S’ chair was a stroke of style genius when it was created in 1968. Originally designed to answer a brief for a stackable chair, its Danish creator, Verner Panton, in fact produced something altogether more beautiful, with its seamless lines and seemingly gravitydefying ability to balance weight perfectly. Fun and functional and resplendent in bright orange, this elegant seat will make you smile. £59, pash- classics.com
