Making visual impact through colour
Independent retailers are at an advantage over online shops when it comes to making visual impact. By utilising visual merchandising through texture, shape and colour retailers can create displays that influence customers spending habits.
Bira Direct supplier Le Creuset have created a new range introducing a new bold shade that retailers can take advantage of when planning their current ranges. The Ultra Violet range is inspired by the 2018 Pantone colour of the year.
Embodying a bold, free-spirited nature, Ultra Violet made an impact throughout 2018 as Pantone’s Colour of The Year: a key trend spanning across fashion, beauty and interiors alike. Now, this striking yet rich hue is truly making its mark with this trend set to continue on into the kitchen.
It’s the new colour for their cast iron cookware, stoneware oven-to-tableware, mills and textiles. The boundary-pushing shade will make any dish look delectable and is the perfect excuse to get creative in the kitchen.
The new vibrant purple shade from Le Creuset will replace Cassis and will become the new core purple in the range. Encourage your customers to bring their creative kitchen flair to life with this purple hue. Visit the supplier page for more information on how to order this range.
Members also have the opportunity to explore colour through trend forecasting at Exclusively Housewares where Trend consultancy Scarlet Opus will be on hand to provide valuable insight into trends which will influence the homewares sector over the next few seasons.
