2010 Color Trends: Fearless Colors

2010 Interior Color Trends: Fearless Color

 

One of the biggest themes for 2010 is more color.  Even the extreme use of color is encouraged.  Exuberant hues of yellow, turquoise, purple, coral, and grass green will punctuate homes that aren’t afraid of a statement.   This lively trend palette will combine several of the brights at a time while creating a cohesive feel – the overall look will be energetic and enlivening.

Larger scale floral and nature inspired patterns will be juxtaposed with stripes or two toned geometrics.  Mixing in solid neutrals will tone down the trend for those who want just a touch of color.  This trend will find itself in both modern and traditional settings, and is perfect for those looking for a real lift.
