Bold colours are the way forward for homeowners wishing to give their interiors and kitchens a new look, according to the company behind the Ideal Home Show. Rob Nathan, group marketing manager at Media 10, said that vivid, bright colours were a particularly popular trend at the show, which ran from March 20th to April 5th. There will always be a sway for this type of audience towards pastel colours but what our ambassadors and experts are trying to push together is a lot of bold, a lot of striking colours oranges and reds that in the past might have been seen as slightly pass but they are coming back into the fore now, he said. Meanwhile, interior design expert Linda Barker advised crowds at the show to make-do-and mend by taking a piece they already own and adding a design twist to it. According to a recent report by the Design Blog, elegant kitchen taps which combine style with high-end technology are becoming increasingly popular in homes.
