Comfort Color Trends Promote Stress-Free Room For Living And Relaxing
Courtesy of the Rohm and Haas Paint Quality Institute
(HIT) - From spicy color combinations to hues that warm the
soul, 2007 color trends contain palettes that work independently as a
"statement color" or as a subtle backdrop where home furnishings and
accessories take center stage.
"Many of these palettes will find a home in rooms from coast to coast,"
Debbie Zimmer, color and decorating expert for the Rohm and Haas Paint
Quality Institute and member of the prestigious Color Marketing Group,
an international organization that helps shape the latest color trends
said. "What I enjoy most about our palette grouping this year is the
homey and nature-like quality afforded by each."
Read more trend summary highlights about color hues appropriate for all areas of the home or living space.
Comfort Colors
Biscuit and wheat neutrals, cocoa brown, pumpkin orange and cinnamon apple pie, are just a few of the comfort colors that will wrap your room with warmth and promote a stress-free space. The comfort color palette is an especially good choice for kitchens and family rooms.
Back To Nature
Yellows and blues, leaf-like greens, along with organic browns combine to bring the outdoors in. Add translucency and a glass like quality by incorporating varying paint sheen levels. As a subtle accent color, add rust or copper-like metallics into the scheme. Bedrooms and bathrooms are perfect places to incorporate the back to nature hues or in rooms where an accent wall is employed.
Stark Contrast
From clean, clear reds and deep plums to the sophistication of
black and white, this color group works both as an accent and as an
elegant backdrop for many living spaces. Polished brass metallics
complement this scheme. Dining, living rooms and especially powder
rooms will benefit from this bold and spicy palette.
