How to include 2022’s IT colour Very Peri in your personal space

THE colour of the year 2022, Very Peri, falls into a rich, luscious periwinkle blue shade that seeps deep into the generous violet-like blend of blue and red. The oxymoron combination of warm and cool undertones sparks the colour into a fresh, flashy, futuristic vibe that is an ideal thrust for all the artistically crafted spaces we step into. The presence of Very Peri in architecture and interior design denotes transition, dynamism, and any other hint of newness that we all seek.

In a personal space, such as an individual room, the vividness of Very Peri can be indulgently overplayed as a wall finishing, a hybrid of patterned wallpaper or textured paint, with freeform geometry or wild botanicals that further stimulate the dynamic persona of the colour. Paired with daring complements such as coral, parakeet and fuchsia, Very Peri ponders the feeling of “another world”, with whimsical details and imaginative formulae.

The courage of the colour comes out best when set free; it can be broken from the static by infusing dynamism into the regularities of life. Colour psychology shines in all its glory while reimagining statement pairs such as consoles, side chairs, coffee tables, etc, in an organic or fluid silhouette with a prismatic play of colour gradients, texture assortments, and more. More eccentricity can be brought in with psychedelic art, Aztec patterns, ombre finishes, etc, which personify the metaverse details that have familiarised the mind over years through myths, stories and media portrayal. Very Peri can paint rooms in the colours of faith, hope and divinity.

Taking on the other character, the

richness of the colour can be expressed in extravagant textures of fabrics such as velvet throw pillows, satin upholstered ottomans, embossed tapestries, and more “worked” pieces that have one of the two characters – they either talk about the craftsmanship of the artisan or boast about the exotic appeal of the handpicked premium fabric. The periwinkle hue, which is frequently seen in fur, suede, leather, and other high-end textiles, takes centre stage in the luxury range that reigns over the upholstery, from the largest of sofas to the smallest of pouffs. |
