The colour of the year 2022 falls into a rich, luscious periwinkle blue shade, very peri, 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 free-form 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 into 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 re-imagining 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 the 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 hand-picked 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.

The virtual side of the power-driven shade can also be translated into industrially-styled pieces in the interior, such as metal partition frames, floating shelving, Memphis-inspired lamps and rugs, and more.

The energy in the ambience can also be stepped up by a retro-futuristic character where white-washed backgrounds, fluid forms, sharp lighting, and a high intensity of lacquer get ready to conquer every nook of the interior.

Accessories such as vases, planters, artworks and throws draw creativity from the colour of the future with experimental forms, bold colour combinations, new-found material palettes and an exciting overall that strikes every interior element as an element of surprise and muse.

The multifaceted character of very peri opens up a canvas to explore and experiment in personal spaces.

It follows no rules, no harmony. The use of colour is not a guide but a motivation to seek that which is out of the way - something that lets us live our daydream in the real world.
