Announcing Pantone’s 2017 Color Trends

By


Pantone has announced its choices for the Top 10 Colors for Spring 2017, these colors range from bright and vivid to earthy neutrals.  They are colors that remind us of ones that surround us in nature. "Reminiscent of the hues that surround us in nature, our Spring 2017 Fashion Color Report evokes a spectrum of emotion and feeling. From the warmth of sunny days with PANTONE 13-0755 Primrose Yellow; to the invigorating feeling of breathing fresh mountain air with PANTONE 18-0107 Kale; and the desire to escape to pristine waters with PANTONE 14-4620 Island Paradise, designers applied color in playful, yet thoughtful and precise combinations to fully capture the promises, hope and transformation that we yearn for each Spring,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
                 
These are the colors that will be dominating all areas of design and decorating. And just like in 2016, we are seeing Blue as a prominent color.

Niagara- Pantone 17-4123 The most prevalent color for Spring is a denim-like blue that oozes the feelings of relaxation. This color reminds me of an old comfortable pair of jeans.

Primrose Yellow- Pantone 13-0755 This color makes me think of a sunny day. This is a warm yellow that is joyful and vivid. This color would brighten up any room.
 
Lapis Blue- Pantone 19-4045 Drawing inspiration from the semi-precious stone Lapis Lazuli, Lapis is a deep intense blue. This is a bold and strong color and certainly be a bold color choice for your space.
 
Flame- Pantone 17-1462 Want to add fiery heat to your room or wardrobe- then this is your color. This red-orange is vibrant and fun loving.
 
Island Paradise- Pantone 14-4620 This cool blue/ green shade speaks to me of dream vacations and tropical locations, like the name implies.
 
Pale Dogwood- Pantone 13-1404 Drawing colors from nature this color is found in the blossoms of the dogwood tree. It is a quiet and peaceful pink shade that put you in a tranquil mood.
 
Greenery- Pantone 15-0343 A soft yellow-color, Greenery, feels like spring. It is the color of flourishing foliage and meadow grasses. It is a refreshing color that would pair well with bright yellows and earthy neutrals.

Kale- Pantone 19-0107 Another color that draws from nature as its inspiration, Kale is a deeper green. I think that this color could be a great new neutral color.
 
Hazelnut- Pantone 14-1315 Another key neutral for the spring. This shade is natural earthiness it is unpretentious and warm.

January is the Time to Buy Bed Linens

By
Did you know that the average person spends about a third of their life in bed? Since most of us spend between 6 to 8 hours (and for the lucky ones, 8-10 hours) in bed, it’s important to choose the right bed sheets for your bed. And – it’s an added bonus if the sheets enhance the overall décor of your bedroom as well. Since January is the best time of year to shop for new bed linens, here are a few tips to be aware of before you start sheet-shopping: Size: Before you go out and buy new sheets, I’d like to suggest that you measure your bed (including the width of the side of your mattress). In the past, sheet sizes such as “twin,” “full,” “queen” and king” were reliable and would fit all beds according to size. But recently, many mattress manufacturers have added extra comfort features, such as pillow top mattresses which are deeper than older mattresses. There are so many different size mattresses now that it is important to know before you venture out on your quest for new...

How to Mix Metals in Decorating

By
One of the coolest design trends to emerge in 2016 was Mixed Metals. It has long been regarded that if you had silver in your space then you shouldn’t use gold or it would look out of place.

When choosing your dominate metal consider your design styl...

All the nice weather is making me think of Spring. In the following article Leslie Hendrix Wood of Hadley Court ( www.hadleycourt.com ) shares this year’s Spring Trends. Makeover your Home with Spring 2017 Trends I have to be honest – I have a bad case of spring fever. If you are like me, you are ready to add a little color to your life and embrace the outdoors. After all the inspiration from Paris Design Week, here are 5 emerging trends we are seeing that will update and freshen any décor. Green: Photo courtesy of Elle Decor I’m always an advocate for fresh…fresh flowers, fresh veggies….fresh scents. This time, it’s literal. Earlier this year, Pantone came out with its color of the year: Greenery, the cousin of chartreuse. The rich and savory color sets a mood that’s inviting and soothing. I know for many it can be daring to go so bold. Try an accent wall and balancing it with more subtle hues in furniture (dark woods, greys). Still unsure? Green accessories such as gl...
