She
describes the colour as impactful, rich, elegant, and assures her
clients of her company’s readiness to help them put the colour to good
use. According to Ezinne;
“It has become our norm at Rosemary’s to follow the outlook and trends in the world of interiors and share our ‘finds’ with clients every year. This year is no exception. Masala is the new trend and we can’t wait to help our clients explore the colour in cool amazing ways“
Here are few decorating tips proffered by Ezinne;
1. As an accent colour:
Take a bold step and apply Masala to your walls either as paint or
wallpaper. Combine it with a complimentary colour for an impactful
visual. Note that a colour like this can accept lots of divergent
metallic hues in accessories, so feel free to indulge.
2. For lively sofa pillows:
Being trendy shouldn’t result in breaking the bank. Throw pillows in
Masala are fun for the couches. Look for one that already incorporates
some of your existing colours, or be bold enough to make a statement by
creating your own original colour blocking scheme.
3. For window treatments:
Masala comes with a readiness to play. Its subtle romance with bright
lights will throw up interesting contrasts and pleasures. Either as wood
or fabric blinds, the colour is guaranteed to deliver stunning windows
any day!
4. For rugs:
Texture and pattern are everything when it comes to rugs, but then,
beyond both there’s colour. In most cases, rugs are selected to define a
space, but with Masala you can achieve more. If you choose the
appropriate hue of Masala for your rug, you will please your feet, your
eyes and your heart in one seamless rich string which ties your entire
space together. Explore!
5. As bed covers:
Everyone deserves a good night rest, and using duvets made with Masala
guarantees this. The colour will also serve well for bed skirts, pillow
sham trimmings and will work well against whites, creams and biscuit
coloured sheets.
6. For lively sofas:
As far as fabric colours for curtains and sofas are concerned, the
richer the better. To stay ahead, make your sofas the focal point of
your sitting areas by covering them in the rich colour.
7. In the kitchen:
As a rich colour, Masala is perhaps the most ideal colour to pep up the
kitchen. Without a doubt, this cool colour is an appetite stimulant
because of its symbolic closeness to the colour of a rich sumptuous
meal.
8. For kid zones:
Your kids will be grateful if you choose the Masala colour for their
room. Decorate your children’s rooms to suit their age and creative
imagination. It is pretty, practical, bold and brigh. The Masala hue
brings cheerful comfort to the home for just about everyone.
