The Visionary trend: Modern meets mood

Our world is a whirlwind of activity, constantly in motion, with a relentless flow of change and information. Thus, we seek a calming space – a sanctuary that we can call our own. A home that feels fresh and modern, yet also warm and cosy.

The Visionary trend is about creating a serene, luxurious space that finds beauty in the artificial and engineered. It embraces minimalist, open space, thus providing a calming retreat. However, futuristic doesn’t mean cold, as the trend combines sleek, contemporary style with the comforts of home. 

The Visionary shades range from light green to turquoise, and from light orange and pale yellow to deep shades of blue and grey. The restrained, future-proof palette highlights the trends’ fascination with innovation.

In this bedroom, soft pastels, gentle greens, and contrasting dark tones energise the space in a relaxed yet refined way. Natural light, plush textiles, and modern shapes combine to create a bold vision with a moody sense of livability. The whole atmosphere exudes cosy calmness.

Create this comforting retreat by mixing light and dark tones: combine the cool hues of pale grey Fall Chill (PPG1003-1), light green Eden Light (PPG1125-2), and turquoise-green Cactus Blossom (PPG1138-1) with the dark turquoise Midnight River (PPG1035-7). 

Add emotion and energy to the clean, techy vibe. Bring in the Colour of the Year, Secret Safari (PPG1110-4), as an uplifting accent colour. This soft olive-lime tone is vibrant enough to energise you in the morning but gentle enough to soothe in the evening.

This bedroom exudes calm and understated luxury. The room’s deep tones of grey and navy create an intimate, soothing environment, which is subtly enhanced by the smooth bed linens. There is quiet drama in dark tones and tactile elements.

To achieve this moody look, paint all the walls with ambient Gray Flannel (PPG1013-6) with a velvety matte finish to enhance the monolithic look. Highlight structural elements with a subtle tonal shift by using light grey Fall Chill (PPG1003-1), and add touches of brown Chocolate Pretzel (PPG1017-7) and burgundy Bison Stampede (PPG1054-7) for dramatic impact. 

Introduce a futuristic touch into your space by keeping it clean and simple. Linear lines and low-profile shapes bring a sense of minimalistic elegance. Dark wood and black leather surfaces contrast with sleek and shiny objects.

The Visionary trend opens up the possibility of creating a home that feels connected to the current moment. This style is all about creating a space that feels cutting-edge yet protective, combining sleek simplicity with surprising softness. 

To bring the Visionary trend into your own home, remember clean lines and bold vision. Add smooth, wide surfaces, such as stone counters or streamlined furniture, to give your room a polished feel. Feature brushed metal, chrome, or mirrors to reflect light and add a techy edge to your space. 

And finally, don’t forget to soften it up with textiles – just avoid textures or patterns that break the visual flow. Plush rugs, soft fabrics, and comfortable seating turn the space into a relaxing retreat. You have created a home that’s future-proofed in style.
