Design Notes

Color is taking a front seat in all aspects of design today. The pictures below are from random publications but all have a central theme, bright colors. The room scenes have pulled their colors from the artwork shown, and the front door area is picking up the colors from the mat. It’s interesting that all three feature shades of teal and yellow which plays nicely off the neutral gray and beige of the walls. Whether you’re freshening up a room or starting from scratch, start with a piece of artwork or a print you love and pull the colors from it into the room. You’ll end up with a very polished look and a room you love.

March Design Notes!

Trending today…there is a lot happening with finishes. Painted cabinets are everywhere, grey tones and white are the most prevalent, but there are some strong colors being shown also, dark blue and even some green were seen at the recent IBS show. Matte black has become a player in finishes for everything from cabinet hardware, faucets and lighting. The nice thing about this is, it blends well with brushed nickel, stainless and chrome. Black cabinet door hardware looks great on the painted finishes, while black lights add a nice contrast in a kitchen with brushed nickel & stainless.

Look for these featured finishes in our product offerings!

Color of the Year!

DESIGN NOTES:

The end of the year always heralds the announcements for “The Color of the Year” by various paint companies and those who specialize in forecasting color trends. The color palette seems to be getting warmer for both fashion and interiors.  Pantone’s color of the year “Living Coral” is a vibrant color and is already influencing the fashion world.

Sherwin Williams’ color of the year is “Cavern Clay” which is a nice soft version that can blend with many other colors including some of the gray colors. It makes a nice accent wall and is not overwhelming in a whole room.

You may want to consider adding pops of the 2019 color of the year to your interiors to warm up the look.

Design Notes!

They have always said that design goes in cycles, and the new cycle is trending to mid-century modern. Think clean lines, lighter feeling furniture, channel that “fifties look”. With the fall furniture market this year we are seeing this influence. Curves are everywhere and they are showing up everywhere from upholstery to case goods, even in lighting and accessories. There is a resurgence of wicker, rattan and caned furniture. These organic pieces add warmth to any interior and keep any interior from looking too harsh.

“Color blocking”, using a bold color on a single wall or piece of furniture, is softening with more pastel tones and subtle patterns and textures. There is also more use of earthy tones in rust, copper and soft gold, which blends with the appearance of brass and gold tone hardware.

The “farmhouse/shiplap” look is still strong but does show signs of starting to trend down. Younger buyers are looking at other clean looks to define their spaces and the mid-century look fits their style. Here is an overview of some of the new looks at this fall’s furniture market:
