Decorex is the canvas for the latest colour trends presented by Olympic Paints(R)<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"It was Irish poet and playwright, Oscar Wilde, who so knowledgably said: \u201cMere colour\u2026 can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.\u201d For visitors to the 2019 Decorex shows, the experience of colour has been profound as some of the country\u2019s most on-trend designers and decor influencers crafted fun and vibrant stands using Olympic Paints\u00ae Premium Platinum Plus Lux Range – launched at Decorex SA<\/p>\n

Working closely with Olympic Paints\u00ae, Anita Bloom, Creative Director for Decorex SA, and the Decorex creative team developed this exclusive colour range for the three Decorex shows, incorporating the dominant d\u00e9cor and design trends.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a South African-based paint manufacturer, Olympic Paints\u00ae is really in touch with the mood and tone of the local d\u00e9cor scene,\u201d said Anita Bloom. \u201cNot only does this work so well into the 2019 \u2018Designing for Africa – feels like home\u2019 theme, but their exclusive Premium Platinum Plus Lux Range has been so inspirational for this year\u2019s designers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colour in design<\/p>\n

Getting the first peek of the latest Olympic Paints\u00ae range were the exhibitors and designers participating in this year\u2019s Decorex Durban, which ran at the Durban Exhibition Centre from 21 to 24 March.<\/p>\n

The Night Sky hue drew particular attention with Rene Forbay Designs bringing it into their Decorex International installation, giving visitors a glimpse of the vibrant Durban life. Their abstract wall design also included the Sunset Yellow and Misty Olive from the Premium Platinum Plus Lux Range, alongside the Olympic Master D\u00e9cor\u2019s Terracotta, Shiloh and Autumn Wheat. \u201cWe really loved the colour selection this year,\u201d said Rene Forbay. \u201cThe matt finish of Night Sky gave the stand such a natural, earthy feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trestle South Africa also opted for this particular colour, alongside Mushroom Haze, as a way to embolden their display of quality-made furniture that so perfectly reflects the popular minimalist design trend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted a warm look for the stand, with one really dramatic wall \u2013 hence the Night Sky,\u201d explained Trestle South Africa\u2019s Caron Van Wyk. \u201cThe space was minimalist with an interesting mixture of matt black and wooden furniture and the Night Sky provided an attractive contrast. The paint selection worked really well in the space. For the Joburg stand, I\u2019m looking at Misty Storm or Berry Blaze.\u201d<\/p>\n

For suppliers of upmarket d\u00e9cor and design products, Living Image, it was the on-trend grey tones of Misty Storm that caught the eye of visitors at this year\u2019s stand.<\/p>\n

Bringing the colour of the Mother City into Decorex Cape Town, a kaleidoscope of Olympic Paints\u00ae hues were splashed across the second show, which ran at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 1 to 5 May.<\/p>\n

In the exclusive Design Pavilion, Casa Leon by Leon at CCXIX opted for Mushroom Haze to express their \u2018no-nonsense\u2019 furniture and style, while the natural, handcrafted pieces of 8 Degrees South really stood out against the stunning Emerald Intuition.<\/p>\n

The muted tones of Night Sky made another appearance, this time in the sophisticated installation by Tracy Glass Interiors while the delicious taste of Berry Blaze created a mouth-watering impact on anyone passing by Urban Tonic\u2019s stand.<\/p>\n

Hinterveld, creators of must-have mohair products and fashion accessories, contrasted their fluffy product range with the smooth feel of Casper Grey. \u201cWe were looking for a lighter shade to complement our charcoal carpet,\u201d explained Hinterveld\u2019s Schandr\u00e9 Barnes. \u201cFor something different at Decorex Joburg, we\u2019ve decided to go with Silver Sand. It should look amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n

From the experts<\/p>\n

Sanjay Parag of Olympic Paints\u00ae said that the public response to the Decorex Premium Platinum Plus Lux Range has been \u2018phenomenal\u2019: \u201cThe fresh vibrant pastel shades, complimented by the darker warmer shades, had visitors really excited about the collaboration between Olympic Paints\u00ae and Decorex. We\u2019ve especially liked the combination of Berry Blaze and Sunshine Yellow used in the vibrant Wine + Bubbly Bar furnished by Homewood \u2013 it creates an inviting setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parag said they had noted four paint colours as particularly dominant at the shows. These are:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Night Sky \u2013 a modern, on-trend colour
\u00b7 Emerald Intuition – a deeply exotic colour
\u00b7 Choc Mocha \u2013 rustic, yet with a cosy feel
\u00b7 Crisp Mint \u2013 a fresh and vibrant tone<\/p>\n
