Design Note: Color of the Year

Benjamin Moore paints has announced its “color of the year” for 2017,

Benjamin-Moore-Shadow-Benjamin-Moore-Color-of-the-Year-2017

Shadow 2117-30. It is a dark, muted amythest purple toned color which is quite a contrast to last year’s color of the year, which was a shade of white. It will pair well most shades of grey and neutral beige to provide a nice contrast. Use it as an accent in bedrooms or dining rooms to give the space a calm feeling. Pair it with soft yellow for a touch of sophistication or with white to provide contrast in a room. This is a color that will also start showing up in accessories and linens as well, providing touches of richness to your bathroom or dining table.

Design Notes July

DESIGN NOTES:

Having recently completed a series of design presentations for new product, one question seems to always surface; what ever happened to color on our floors? (i.e.; carpets, vinyl tile, etc. in colors) The answer is actually simple, people are less afraid of bold colors than they were in the past. This is shown by the use of strong colors in today’s accessories and accents being used by homeowners. A neutral base on the floor and even in larger furniture pieces, like a sofa, gives a homeowner the ability to choose items they like, whether it is a piece of artwork for the wall, colorful throw pillows or even a painted accent wall. It also allows them to change whenever they want. We have all become more exposed to color via HGTV, Pinterest and as a result are using it in places we never would have thought of before.

Fresh Design Notes!

 

Freshen up your décor with new artwork. It can give a tired home a totally different look and give you new options to incorporate colors you may not have even thought of using. Add a paint color pulled from the art, or pillows and other accent pieces. This is especially helpful to brighten up the boring neutrals that have prevailed for so long without spending a lot of money. The piece above would liven up a gray décor and you could add bright yellow or red accents for a fresh new look.

Be inspired…look at wall art on websites like Wayfair.com which has an enormous offering, a variety of sizes and prices, and everything from abstract styles to the classics.
