Earth conscious design – in the spirit of
conscientious sustaining and protecting our
environment, there’s a fresh and original focus
in interior design that incorporates raw
materials and organics into design schemes.
Used brick, river stones, weathered woods,
organic shapes, texture, and simple, low line
furniture forms keep us connected to our
environment. Inspiration from the depths of the
ocean and earth’s outer atmosphere offers
natural drama to interiors.
Color palettes range from neutrals mixed
with pales to vibrant and dramatic to
outwardly chaotic.
Central to neutral design schemes is creating
a balance using either warm and/or cool
hues with a mix of metallics that establish a
minimalist spirit without appearing stark.
Preferred color palettes include graphite,
slate gray, creamy beige and a wide range of
browns.
Blue-based reds like the wines of Burgandy and
Pinot Noir and berry tones are being replaced by
warmer reds verging on orange. Vibrant designs
are spicey, warm, bold, exciting yet welcoming,
they can be toned down by adding corals, cream,
and gold, or made more exuberant when paired
with brights like sunny yellow, green, and blue.
Move over Emerald! Transitional décor blend hues
from the Mediterranean and Carribean waters that
include the palest blue, teal, turquoise, and cobalt
to ethereal atmospheric blues. Accent with jewel
tones or with bright white for city dwellings,
beachfront homes, and everything in between.
Multi-color palettes move away from color
blocking replaced by individualistic patterns
in multiple brights. Refreshing and
unconventional, the look is distinctly unique.
Whether your look is
vibrant and dramatic; soft,
neutral, and textural; or
atmospheric, there are
multiple trends that are a
perfect fit for you.
