It
is the end of the year and a paint season for many, with occasions and
festivals like the festival of lights ‘Deepawali’ (in India), Christmas and New
Year all over the world, just round the corner. Here is a roundup of some colors selected bound
to trend in the year 2017 and beyond.
When
we select colors, they must make a connection with us. With a growing rainbow
of choices, making a choice is difficult. There are several things we see in a color
like nuances, touch, feel.
We
tend to use colors that rescue our walls, share, allow us an escape into a
different world, intensify, pop, blend or clash colors, features a wall.
Subtle
nuances of shades and tones are now seen keenly, where Off-white has been
replaced by Beige, Cream, Chalk.
Colors
have become more than just visual, wherein we now want to touch and feel the
colors warming our souls, enveloping our senses. The texture of the paints is
now glossy or matte.
Browns
have emerged as more earthy, rich bronzed hues. Washed blues and dusky nudes
are nostalgic, while nature has a great impact on color choices.
We
want nature to beautify the inside of our houses since we spend more time indoors;
greens and blues from the color palette are growing. The other colors inspired by
nature are the sunsets and sunrise, flowers blooming in the garden; colors that
fill us with hope and ecstasy.
If
you love grey, add a touch of blue for a timeless look, or silver or slate
shades. Add intense colors to feature a wall, ceiling or an area striking,
strong, bold colors with freehand paint design or color block effect, or bold saturated
colors.
Painting
colors on walls are old; paint table legs, ceilings, blocks in the cupboard, take
a step towards creativity. Colors never seen together will now feature as
partners, time to break all color partnering rules.
If
you are afraid of getting it wrong, simply choose to repeat color schemes as
they assist in narrowing down the options. Take time to choose your colors,
fashion a new color and add some freshness to your home.
