INTRODUCING PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2015: MARSALA
Add elegance to any room by incorporating this rich and welcoming hue in accent pieces, accessories and paint. Marsala’s plush characteristics are enhanced when the color is applied to textured surfaces, making it an ideal choice for rugs and upholstered living room furniture.
Every year I like to discover what the trends will be for interior design but specially the color trend palettes are always a treat to see. Here is a sneak peek of two color trends for Spring/Summer 2015: Mid-Century Modern and In Harmony.
MID-CENTURY MODERN COLOR STORY SPRING/SUMMER 2015
MID-CENTURY MODERN – Mustard yellow and burnt sienna shades of untouched territory and au courant create a lively atmosphere while adding sleek texture to wooden finishes. Light turquoise blue and sea foam green tones amplify elusive shapes.
HARMONY COLOR STORY SPRING/SUMMER 2015
IN HARMONY – Deep mauve and soft apricot shades of consistent oscillation and balanced equilibrium draw attention to elongated bold lines. Chestnut and dark khaki tones of serene counterbalance and equanimity accentuate suave silhouettes.

Pretty pastel colors aren’t just for fashion, they can be incorporated into your interior space as well. For spring think light blues, lavenders, soft pinks, pale yellows, mint green and aqua. If you use them right they can be beautiful without feeling overwhelming unless you want lots of color. The best recipe for using pastels in your space is by contrasting hues, using texture and patten throughout. Take a peek at some of these refreshing interiors and get inspired.

It’s officially spring everyone! I have been wanting to do a feature on the idea of painting your window frames a color other than white. Painted window frames have instant impact plus it’s easy and affordable. Have you thought about doing this in your own home? I know you’ve probably seen it mostly done in black but how fresh is it to actually paint a window frame in a unexpected color.
