Brighten Up Winter with Plaisir du Jardin: Bold Colour Trends to Transform Your Home

Let’s be honest – our winters don’t exactly call for hibernation. So why should your home decor? This season, Plaisir du Jardin’s flying the flag for colour, making it their mission to brighten the cooler months with a bold, unapologetic palette designed to lift the mood and shake off the greys.

Forget playing it safe.

This winter, it’s all about embracing vibrant hues that inspire joy and confidence. Think rich jewel tones, radiant reds, and sunshine yellows that bring life and warmth to any space – even when the temperatures dip.

Yellow is your first stop on the happy train. From buttery pastels to full-bodied sunshine, a pop of yellow can transform even the gloomiest corner. A vase of sunflowers or a mustard throw paired with wooden accents creates a grounded, earthy mood with a cheerful twist.

Red continues its reign in 2025, this time dialled up to full brightness. Red is the colour of passion, power, and energy – and a little goes a long way. Paint your front door crimson, place a bouquet of ruby-toned roses on the table, or layer your space with tomato-red accessories for warmth and instant wow factor.

Next up: sapphire. Deep, luxurious, and moodily elegant, this jewel tone is stealing the spotlight in both fashion and interiors. It makes a striking focal point and pairs beautifully with both neutrals and other saturated shades.

And don’t overlook emerald green. Versatile and lush, it’s the perfect base tone – gorgeous with greys and whites, or bold enough to pair with fellow jewel tones like red, sapphire, and even violet.

The message? No more hiding behind dull colours.

If you’re new to bold hues, start with something simple: a vibrant table setting for your next Sunday roast or weekend braai. Let colour take centre stage – and see how it transforms your winter.
