Art Makes It Your Home
Make your rooms complete with art that fills the space appropriately! Going to art galleries and finding a piece you love is great fun! Adding textiles, antique architectural remnants, metal sculpture or your own photography will give you a start in personalizing your space and it may not be too costly to afford. From the temporary art shows during prime tourist season to enlargements of your own photos from Costco, you can give your space a fresh look! Call for a design consultation for sizing if you need help! Click here to see my Pinterest board about Art.
There are so many options!
This Year’s HOT Colors
The Pantone color of the year is Marsala. Paint companies also choose their favorite colors as well. This year Benjamin Moore chose Guilford Green – a very neutral taupe/green. PPG selected Blue Paisley. And the furniture market is all about the bass (I mean blue!). Do these colors have significance for you?
Many years ago while traveling in France I saw the boldest orange hues in Nice. It did get to the states a couple of years later! Now info travels at nano speed and we are not going to change our wardrobe, paint our walls and buy furniture every year to be “in.”
In fact being in is out! The easiest way to utilize “trend” colors is to buy when we see the colors in a scarf, a tee shirt, pillows for the sofa, etc. It is very difficult to match highly unique colors when replacing the ruined cushion on the chair that coordinates with the sofa and draperies.
When the designer says toss it all and start over, they want you to have a fresh new look! If you’re lucky your favorite colors will be in!
This year –
- Cobalt, lapis and robin’s egg are added to navy and indigo.
- Reds are popular from plum to coral to pink.
- Gray IS the new neutral for the umpteenth time and
- Gold is back.
