The arrival of summer means grass court season on the tennis calendar, and with Wimbledon fast approaching, tennis fever is likely to reach new heights this year thanks to the Tenniscore trend.
Thanks in part to the new tennis-themed movie The Challengers starring Zendaya, Google searches for “tennis scores” have increased 967 percent in the past three months alone. But it’s not just fashionistas who are embracing this aesthetic: It’s also slowly making its way into interiors.
The Tenniscore palette instantly evokes images of crisp white tennis courts, freshly mowed grass, bright yellow tennis balls, terracotta clay courts and clear blue skies. This color palette can be used both indoors and in the garden.
“The Tenniscore aesthetic is bright, playful and characterised by clever colour blocking,” says Tash Bradley, colour psychologist and Rick’s interior design director. “These hues evoke images of playing tennis on a hot summer’s day or watching the game unfold with a glass of Pimm’s.”
It comes in six colorways that perfectly capture the Tenniscore aesthetic.
White
According to Tash, “pure white with just a hint of grey” works best – keep it clean and simple to create an effortless, sophisticated space.
Blue
To add a sense of calm and balance to your home, aim for shades of sky blue, which are particularly suitable for creating a serene atmosphere in bathrooms and bedrooms.
yellow
The bright, almost neon yellow of a tennis ball might be the first hue that comes to mind when you think of tennis, but opting for a mid-warm yellow with white will fill you and your room with optimism and enrich the space, says Tash.
green
If you’re embracing the tenniscore trend, choose a yellow-green color. Synonymous with nature, green has an optimistic nature and brings balance and harmony to your home.
red
“Deep, earthy red accents energize a space and make you feel physically stimulated,” says Tash. We love this deep, earthy terracotta because it’s warm yet energizing. Look for neutral reds with warm pink and brown hues to add a unique touch to any room in your home.
orange
And finally, there’s orange. Opt for a rich, warm orange with brown undertones. Rick’s “Orange 02 is soothing and delightful, making the space relaxing and calming,” says Tash.
Whatever color (or colors) you choose, pair it with fresh linens, wicker accessories, and seasonal flowers to elevate your decor this summer. Or, take the trend outdoors and update your garden with the tenniscore-inspired hue.
