Hmmm!
Unlike recent years, there is no one color that is dominating the interior
design world in 2009.
Due to the eco-chic movement in recent years, we have
seen fresh, bold greens making their way back into our
homes. Green continues to be popular but with a
stronger yellow base. Soft pale blues make way for
stronger hues such as indigo and sapphire.
For those who prefer a warmer palette, orange continues
to be hot with a spicier undertone and yellow, specifically
saffron is on the horizon. 2009 sees bold colors like purple
and coral paired together for unexpected hits of color
against a neutral backdrop. And while brown and beige
continues to be popular, grey is the neutral of choice this
year.
Combine charcoal with saffron for a bold statement in a
powder room or a soft silvery grey with lilac for an inviting
guest room. And while cool metals are still dominant,
warm metals are very much on trend.
Bronze continues to be a popular alternative to chrome
but expect to see more aged or brushed gold finishes in
2009. This is not the brass of the 80’s! It is a more sophisticated
look that pairs well with both traditional and
contemporary design. There are so many choices with
color this year – what’s your favorite?
