We explore the latest decorating trends for your new Larkfleet home.

A quick round up of the latest designer ideas for Spring 2016 suggests that the colours you should look at to decorate your new home are a luscious mix of subtle shades and adventurous strong tones.

Greys are used in a number of ways again, as they were last year.  It is used either as a stand-alone colour or paired with other brighter colours, such as oranges and yellows.

Wallpaper remains top of the list for wall coverings, with bold geometric prints being used to make strong statements.  We think we have put these to their best use in our showhomes at Buttercross Park in Oakham and our Whittlesey Green development, near to Peterborough.

House Beautiful says they believe that lilac will be out in full force this year, whether it is a strong, dark shade or a lighter, more delicate colour.

Deep, dark aubergine is another trend which seems to be popular with all the interior designers and it looks stunning with a touch of mustard yellow or lime green.

Blues are also making quite an appearance this Spring.  Shades vary from dark navy to softer grey or lavender base colours, right through to the brighter sky blues.

Rose quartz remains a favourite.  It's been with us for a while and is obviously suited for feminine bedrooms but makes a stunning background for dining rooms as well.
