The Trendy Colors of 2017
So which hues should you gear towards?
Plum is a rich hue that has made a lot of designers and homeowners drool. You can instantly glam up a space when you pair this interesting color with gold or any vibrant hue. This is unexpected hue to use inside a bedroom or a modern kitchen but it is something that you can try.
Lavender is one of the most reliable spring colors. Though it’s already summer, you can still use as an unexpected wall adornment. Do the ombre method and you’re on the right track.
Red is also red hot these days. It can be a fall color but it can also work for summer with a little adjustment on which hues you pair it with. It can be the partner of crisp white, deep blue or light gray.
Mint is one of the lightest tints of green. This can be used on retro glassware, platter, or the major furnishings against a neutral palette.
Caribbean blue is also hot. This is the right color to use this summer as it evokes feelings of seaside vacations. Try this as a bold accent or against neutral palettes. The softer shades of blue would do to fill your walls with a classic color.
Paisley is also a light tint of blue. It’s not just a term used in English design which uses boteh or buta which have Persian origins. Use blue paisley as an accent hue. Even if this was trendy back in 2015, nothing can keep this color down in terms of being loved.
Metallic colors are also hot, hot, hot! Check out weathered brass and how it can liven up your own home. The polished version of brass gives an ‘80s retro vibe that is simply difficult to ignore. Brass accents will also surely steal the show in any transitional kitchen.
From metallic and fun, why not go to the more consistent yet still trendy hue that is Earl Grey. This color – even when used sparingly – lends coziness and warmth. Use it inside the bedroom as a combination of blush pink, burgundy, soft orange, or the deeper shades of lavender.
Pumpkin or the color orange is a warm hue that is perfect for summer and all-year round decorating. Use it as a major color and you can have creamy beige as accents and hints everywhere else.
Stripes and summer are synonymous. Think of beach homes and preppy habitats. Stripes are versatile and depending on the combinations, it can be classical or modern.
Coral – the burnt type – is the classic peachy shade of pink. Use it during spring or summer – or whenever you want to – it is just perfect.
Watercolor technique is also hot this 2017. It is best achieved through a structured ombre-inspired wall color or wall treatments. Use it also as a drippy pattern which is unexpected so it is amazingly unique. Go ahead and swirl and twirl.
