Furniture and decorations in bright colors were a major design theme for 2014. This interior, inspired by the W Retreat & Spa on Vieques Island in the Caribbean, shows how vivid accents can make a hotel space feel both polished and welcoming.
Furniture and decorations in bright colors bring color into the interior

The luxurious W Retreat & Spa on Vieques Island was designed with a sophisticated mix of natural surfaces and vivid accents. Patricia Urquiola and the design team used reclaimed wood, stone-like finishes, and polished concrete floors to create a relaxed, rustic backdrop. The interior is completed with furnishings and decor in bright colors. The unique combination works surprisingly well at first sight. In the lobby, comfortable seating areas are arranged with upholstered chairs in purple and red tones. Floral rugs create a cozy atmosphere, while patterned accent walls add a Caribbean character.
Furniture and decorations in bright colors: a concept in magenta, purple, and red

The concept feels fresh and vibrant. Bold furniture and decorations attract attention thanks to a successful mix of colors: magenta, purple, and red are cleverly combined. The trick is simple: walls and floors in natural tones create the perfect backdrop for colorful interior design. If you like the look, here are a few tips you can easily use at home:
– Choose up to three bright colors that you want to combine, and test whether they work well together in the room.
– Upholster a piece of furniture in one bright color. Add decorative pillows in the other two colors. To make the color mix work, repeat the accents with a colorful rug, pendant light, or different pots and planters.
