YOU’RE MAKING ME BLUSH
Strong tones can be hard to handle, especially if you
consider including more than one shade. A well-chosen
pastel or pale hue can help to soften the impact, comple-
menting the darker color without competing for atten-
tion. Rather than the cool tones of spring pastels, a soft
blush introduces a gelato-inspired warmth to the space.
A blush pink with a little bit of a brown undertone will
update and replace the default use of white as a palette
cleanser. Think of blush tones as the new neutrals: colors
that are light but still hold a depth and richness when
layered on walls and accessories.

SEEING GREEN 
Already showing up everywhere, the
new green is deep and dark, offering a
sense of calm as well as providing the
perfect canvas to contrast earthy textures
in leather and wood. This shade of green
has a luxurious look that manages to feel
both classic and entirely new. All the lush,
botanical pictures inundating our social
media feeds have been cleverly translat-
ed into a wall color that doesn’t require
a green thumb. Thankfully, this tone pairs
nicely with the gold and brass accents
that have been popular in recent years.
Whether you go bold and cover entire
walls in this rich hue, or merely add in
pops of color, this design move will spice
up your look.

BLACK IS BACK
The big news about this color palette is that even black feels new again when accenting a
smart combination of jewel tones and warm neutrals. If all-over black intimidates you, try
introducing matte black elements in ceramics, lighting fixtures or furniture. The new look
delivers sophistication, not minimalism. Instead of severity, this color trend comes from
a warm, earthy place that recalls the rich tones found in nature. In previous years, strong
doses of black have infiltrated the fashion and beauty world. Now look to interior design
décor items like homewares and accessories to embrace the endlessly chic color.
