Living in such a kaleidoscopic world, its only natural that we are attracted to colors. It seems we all have our favorites and how can we not when color is everywhere. In 2010, keep an eye out for a new variation of your favorite. If you’re ready to give your favorite spot in your home a fresh new look, focusing on the colors can create the most impact on a space. Whether you want an area that’s relaxing and spa-inspired or warm and inviting, there are easy ways to add new colors. Let’s look at next year’s color trends!
- Earth-friendly living translates to hues found in nature, so these colors are a big part of next year’s palette. Neutral earthy colors, browns, tans, greens, even variations of yellows, oranges, and reds.
- Darker values will be deep and bold, giving the feeling of true richness. Great examples are plums, mossy greens, navy blues, mustard yellow, and burgundies.
- Light hues are also rich in color, but with a delicateness that still allows for a soft and warm feeling.
- Last but not least, we'll be seeing bright colors- not the neon’s of the eighties, but colors that can, with the correct proportions, compliment nearly any of the others previously described.
Now, what to do with these newly selected colors? Try applying easy solutions, flooring, pillows, window treatments, and paint. This way you don’t have to completely commit; however, don’t be afraid to go all out, just look for materials with these colors. Another way to start is by finding an inspiration piece, stores are carrying these colors, or you could also go through your favorite magazines. Whichever way you begin, be fearless! There is always someone that can help, look through my website for other examples I’ve done.
