5 Vibrant Color Palettes Designers Use to Add Energy and Fun to Decor
Bright color palettes are a key part of the design trends of 2023. Designers are getting bolder, old rules are being thrown away, and homes are being filled with a sense of stealth that can’t help but be lift up your spirits.
‘Why don’t you sit in a room with a certain color that speaks to you?’ asks Lucas Golbach of En Masse Architecture and Design studio. ‘Exclusive and individual spaces are a true symbol of luxury. Spraying a room with different colors can make the space unique and show personality or creative flair.’
But in fact, in order to bring the house to life, there are other factors that you should take into account when creating a color palette with bright colors, and they are the ones that designers turn to see now.

Starting with an easy toe into the world of bright color palettes, as yellow and pink are very easy to live with. This duo is set to be a big color trend for next year. It helps when pink is mistaken for soft tones, and yellow is more flattering than egg yellow, as seen in this dressing room by En Masse Architecture and Design.
‘We like to fill a room in a similar way where the combination of patterns and colors start to mix,’ says Mike Shively, the studio’s founding partner. Instead of arguing.’

This entryway would become a small space that one could walk through, without pausing to catch their breath. But thanks to the bright palette of colors added by designer Amy Kartheiser – and the wonders of color theory – it turns into joy all around, uplifting sounds raise an unexpected smile.
But this was a very valuable collection of colors. ‘When it comes to mixing bright colours, it’s important to make sure they all have similar undertones,’ Amy says. ‘It’s the difference between a bold and colorful palette that feels harmonious and determined, versus one that can feel overwhelming. In this entryway, the cool tones of blue and green are combined with the cool red color, which makes it feel sophisticated and provocative.’

3. Red and blue

This Sanayi313 reading room stretches the unexpected red concept to its limits, bathing almost the entire space in a glossy red lacquer paint. It works for two reasons. Firstly, due to the glossy quality of the paint it is able to reflect light and bounce it around in space – matte paint can feel very heavy and absorb light when used in this way.
And secondly, the subtle use of cornflower blue in the choice of fabric helps to break the influence of red, a simple contrast to the strong walls. And that’s a good trick to remember with light paint, to bring out the soothing calm details to help offset the overall color intensity.

Incorporating black into light color palettes may sound counterintuitive, but it’s actually the perfect base for more eye-catching shades. Everything looks very expensive when set against a dark background, and hot pink looks classy and considered this way for this room. rest is the design studio Le Whit.
‘The black-brick painted fireplace provides a dramatic contrast to Brian Sanchez’s paintings, and allows the shades of pink to flow,’ says Corey Kingston, principal of the design studio.

All the strongest shades are combined in this open living room by interior designer Jessica Ayromloo. But even though they are strong, they still manage to look more sly than strong, which is less than just a neutral palette of gray on the walls. It’s a great example of how you can combine strong shades to get refreshing schemes.
Jessica says: ‘My client wanted pops of pure colour, so we chose yellow, blue and green. ‘But I wanted to simplify the use of the main colours, so we added hot pink, which still has the vibrancy and energy of the other colours, but at the same time softens the palette.’
