Trends 2010 Part 4
February 10th, 2010 by CoryLets talk interior about color and style groupings include botanical palettes of hues that reflect consumers’ interest and commitment to preserving the environment. These can include soft greens and yellows, chalky whites, and aqua as an accent color. Natural tones are calming yet invigorating, like being in a spring meadow. Green continues to be a very important color. Layers of various shades of green are starting to emerge as a color palette.
Earth friendly motifs are another important trend to watch for. Colors that deal with the African continent, including soft green, smoke blue, sand, mauve, lemon and copper work well. This earthy collection also works well with exotic accent pieces in the room, like African statuary or Middle Eastern rugs.
In another unexpected color shift, lavenders and purples have become popular for bigger spaces. In the past, bedrooms and bathrooms were sometimes done in these colors, but now lavenders have moved into the larger living areas. In this palette, lavenders can be combined with deep purple or mauve, pink, bluish-gray and beige. The result is a room that is both sophisticated and soothing to the senses.
Brights will take their cue from nature. Colors to look for are orchids, vibrant greens and buttercup yellows. Gray seems to be emerging as the new neutral.
Layering of similar and sometimes dissimilar pieces will also be a trend to keep an eye out for in 2010.
Playing with pattern scale will continue in many home market segments. Taking a portion of a motif and blowing up the scale has already been seen in the market.
