Interior Color: Lets Paint A New Day

March 5th, 2010 by Cory

Let color inspire you …  living space personalization continues to act as a driver for color change, with accent walls or niche areas appropriate for small doses of high impact bold color while using more subtle hues on broad wall areas.  Paint mid-range neutral tones and softer colors that will act as a backdrop for room schemes.

Eggplant has now made it into the paint palette for 2010.  Purple continues to rise on the popularity chart for the home.

ICI the world’s largest decorative paint manufacturer has predicted Icy Blue as 2010’s color of the year.  They sight that this light airy color is optimistic and symbolizes infinite horizons, new beginnings, renewed energy and a positive dynamic.

Yellow, one of the most popular paint colors of the past two decades, will be hotter and brighter than ever. For years, interior designers and color experts have sung the praises of yellow’s uplifting impact on our moods. .  The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance. Yellow also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.  Benjamin Moore’s color experts expect this fresh take on yellow to have a subtle green influence, while gold tones will also rise in popularity.

Green will blend with yellow to finally move away from the sage greens that have dominated home décor for years. Green is also the easiest color for the eye to see, and is also the most restful and comforting of all colors.  It is a color that, on its own, can contribute a vibrant pop to a room, or create a softer look when paired with neutrals.  It also is a perfect foil for bright contrasts, such as deep blues and orangey reds.

Lavender will be the hands-down winner in the bedroom. It portrays luxury and elegance and evokes warmth and comfort.

Slate and charcoal gray will be the hot new neutrals, taking over from the browns and beiges that had been so popular. Cool gray can be paired with almost any color for a winning combination.

Aqua has been a recommended color by cutting-edge decorators for a couple of years and will continue to be strong. Deep Blues are making a comeback.

Shades of red will be darkened with purple and blue tones. Red and white pairings will also be popular.

  12. I introduced myself to cigs when I was a kid. It was the most terrible mistake I’ve made. Now 20 years later I have found quitting is harder than you can imagine. I attmpted all of the stop smoking tricks but none did the trick. Then I saw the e cig. The e-cigs uses a nicotine liquid that has only nicotine. No toxic chemicals at all. They have luckily saved my life. No more inhaling toxic substances feels stupendous!
