• Woodland themes. Colors that bring to mind a peaceful stroll through the woods are must-haves in trendy, Zen-inspired homes this year. For inspiration, think of natural elements like leaves, pine needles, ferns, moss, mushrooms, bark and stone. Adding simple, earthy tones to your home is the perfect way to infuse some peace and serenity into your life. • Nocturnal skies. This year, color schemes featuring gradients of blue, grey and purple are transporting trendsetters to a place where the stars—and unexplored galaxies—enchant us day and night. For a truly original, dreamlike design,
consult a specialist about the use of watercolors to recreate the richness and depth of a dark night sky. • Expert picks. Pantone and Color Marketing Group—two recognized authorities on international color trends—have both chosen luscious green tones as this year’s top colors. Coincidence or fate? Greenery (selected by Pantone) is a refreshing and revitalizing shade, whereas Thrive (chosen by Color Marketing Group) is more of a warm olive green. • Sequined elegance. This year, be bold and opt for a chic design using special paint that includes a sequined finishing gel. This ultra glamorous style can be achieved by combining any number of dark colors (midnight blue, burgundy, charcoal grey, etc.) with small, iridescent flakes. In the right light, the end result is simply stunning!
