Color Forecasting

Summer is right around the corner! Are you as excited as we are? Time to soak up the sun, stick your feet in the sand, and sip on a cold umbrella drink! Well, while you do that, we'll keep making furniture and updating you on the latest home fashion trends.

The summer is all about color! Don't be afraid of it, embrace it.

Green isn't just everywhere you look outside this season, but inside as well. Green is taking over, especially kelly green and yellow green. These colors make a room feel light, fresh, and open. Contrast with black or white for a blog look. This color is great to accessorize with and can be paired with other trending colors to create many different looks.

Purple is also trending strongly this seasons. Deep, rich hues can make a space cozy and inviting while exuding elegance. Deep amethyst and bright berry purples are the most popular right now. Go bold with a wall paint or cover, or use it as an accent color with pillows and accessories. Purple can add a liveliness to a room. Can we have some more purple, please!

5. Printed Linen Fabric 6. Linen Color Scheme
Linen is not only trending as a fabric, but also as a color scheme. Using bright, clean linen tones can create a crisp, calm atmosphere. Linen colors with grey undertone are especially popular. With these sublet shades you can paint a whole room, cover a sofa, and accessorize using a monochromatic color scheme that will flow seamlessly. 
1. Pantone mug 2. DwellStudio Pillow 3. Laughing Buddha 4. Coral Lamp 5. Printed Cotten Fabric 6. Orange Sofa
Yes, that's right! Tangerine Tango isn't going anywhere. This Pantone color of the year is bright and energetic and adds a playfulness to a room. This youthful color can create a retro chic or ethnic setting when added in with accents like pillows, lamps, and paint. Who isn't going to smile when greeted by a bright orange, laughing Buddha?
