SS26 Trend: Sorbet Shades

Choose ice cream-inspired shades

Keep things cool with a sugary palette inspired by your favourite ice cream flavours. “Pistachio, blueberry, lemon, peach and mint feel so summery and set the tone for a muted maximalism that’s very on-trend this season,” suggests Bana. If you’re not sure where to start, pick one shade as your base colour and three to four accent shades to build your palette. “You want it to feel fresh but refined, so avoid layering too many shades at once. Balance is key.”

Test

Experiment with colour blocking

If there’s one thing we love, it’s a colour block wall. “Colour blocking is a great way to section and add visual interest to your space,” Bana explains. Create a focal point with a rich peach to make your dining set stand out. “It instantly elevates the scheme and adds a sophisticated ambience to your mealtimes.”

Looks for accents with curve appeal

Introduce gentle curves to keep the look from feeling too uniform. Look for accessories with interesting details like scalloped edges, wave silhouettes and sculptural arches. “These little details infuse the look with charm and playfulness and soften the clean lines of the mid-century silhouettes,” explains Bana. Pair a sideboard with a statement mirror and a selection of curvy accessories for maximum impact.

Embrace the beauty of retro designs

Mid-century silhouettes bring a timeless appeal to this modern trend. Look for clean lines, tapered legs and organic shapes, then update the look with pastel upholstery or glossy finishes. “A retro sofa in a rich velvety fabric works beautifully here,” Bana suggests. “It grounds the look while keeping the overall feel fresh and summer-ready.”

Introduce natural elements

While this trend celebrates colour, it’s important to keep things balanced. Pair pastel shades with neutral flooring, light woods or soft whites to stop the space from feeling overwhelming. “It’s about creating harmony,” says Bana. “Let the colour shine, but give it space to breathe.” A crafted desk against a softly colour-blocked wall brings warmth and texture into the scheme, giving it an easy, lived-in feel.
