When furnishing rooms that are to be lived in, the central factor remains selecting the right colour combinations. They are what give the room its character, its style, its atmosphere. And thus, it is no wonder that the colour trends are awaited, each and every year, with fervent excitement.

A glance into this year revealed a clear-cut focus on sustainability and progress. The colour trends unveiled a fascinating amalgam of natural hues and innovative materials. The experts from their branch at Gira have examined the RAL trend colours down deep and up close. The timelessly beautiful design lines by Gira are once again a perfect match with the latest colour trends.

From functional to sensuous

The RAL-colour trends report takes us on a fascinating journey through five inspiring colour palettes which revolutionize both architecture and design. They provide countless options in the ongoing quest to bring together personal style and the functionality of modern interior design.

Functional and clear – harmony for all five senses

The “Functional” palette is distinguished by gentle pastel tones that have both a quieting and an inspiring effect. These shades generate a clear, calm atmosphere which place the focus on serene productivity and clarity. They are especially well suited for working spaces and kitchens. Colours such as soft beige or a finely toned pale grey manage to make a room appear instantly precise and orderly without seeming overly cool or in the slightest sterile. With limpid elegance, Gira products offer the perfect complement to this colour world by accentuating lucidity and comfortable ease in their form.

Ethical and balancing – a pillar of strength

The “Ethical” palette embodies stability and endurance through a line of warm, earth-coloured hues. These shades generate a feeling of security and trust, perfectly suited for rooms where you want to deepen the relaxation and equilibrium. Natural brown tints and beige tones, combined with timeless elegance, are the perfect choice for cosy zones of refuge and retreat.

Emotional and mellow – creative inspiration

“Narrative” weaves tales of harmony and inspiration through soft, smooth pastel tones dotted with bubbly, animated accents. These colours generate a sphere of support, stimulating both creativity and innovation through the surroundings. Regardless whether for an atelier full of fantasy or a snuggly bedroom – “Narrative” generates rooms which extend an invitation to dream, shape, form new things. This is where Gira products provide a stylish completion through their subtle colours and innovative designs, underscoring the creative ambience of the artistic palette.

Pepper White and Opal Violet

The colour palette dubbed “Playful” stands for a diversity firing on all cylinders with smooth adaptability. It combines a wide-ranging palette of colour tones which can be flexibly and playfully combined with one another, generating surroundings which are both inviting and inclusive. These hues amplify the feeling of well-being and identification with the surrounding world by catering to a plethora of moods and styles. Gira products fit like a glove into this artistic palette, since they reinforce the endless possibilities of flexibility and creative expressivity without overloading the room.
