l Spring 2015
We'll see happier, cleaner col-
ors paired with white, black, and
gray. A bit nostalgic of 1960s Palm
Springs and 1980s Preppy, the col-
ors of 2015 include your favorites
of yesteryear paired in new and
exciting combinations that will
look fresh and invigorating.
Greens will be as popular as ever,
with trending ones including mint,
jade, and emerald. There are indi-
cations that the olive greens cur-
rently hot in fashion will begin to
emerge in décor, but it remains to
be seen if enough time has passed
since the last olive trend for con-
sumers to really buy into that one.
If you see it, it will definitely show
up in unexpected combinations
with fresher colors like peach,
blush pink, and mint green.
While pink and peach beiges fade
into our memories, blush pink and
true peach will appear in purer
renditions. I believe we will see
coral hues beginning to replace
oranges and reds as accent col-
ors in interiors. Peach and canta-
loupe will add the flavor needed to
punch up the blues and greens and
to enliven grays and blacks in your
interior color palette.
If gray is the new beige, indigo
blue is the new black. Indigo and
navy will be the perfect "neutral"
that will ground the fresh, new
color palette.
Predictable beige and gray are no
longer the only way to go when
choosing an upholstery fabric for
your sofa. Instead, a sofa in your
favorite color is a better choice for
the largest piece of upholstered
seating in your living or family
room. Is your favorite color blue?
Then choose a turquoise, royal, or
navy sofa. Love yellow? A sunny
yellow sofa will never get old ­ just
make sure to choose a solid color
and you will be able to change out
pillows and blankets in different
colors and patterns to change the
look in a couple of years.
If gray
is the new beige,
indigo blue is the
new black.
