Just because there are new colors trending, doesn't mean that it's time to redo your house. Are there some people who do? Yes. Should you feel bad that you're not one of them? No. What if you really like some of the new colors? Buy a pillow. Or a throw. Or some towels. There are lots of simple, quick ways to update the look you already have.
Remember when you were shopping for a new sofa and your designer tried to talk you out of a mossy green fabric? They probably suggested something more neutral, with some mossy green fabric for the accent pillows. Their reasoning? Accent pillows are much less expensive to replace when you decide you don't like mossy green anymore. It makes sense. Unless you have unlimited resources, (cash), to buy a new sofa every time you fall in love with a new color, it makes financial sense to buy larger purchases in more neutral colors and then change the accessories.
Now that I've said that, there are instances where the blue ultramarine velvet is the way to go. Or the red leather sectional. Trust the advice of your designer. If they tell you you're not the blue velvet sofa, believe them.
Now, on to the 2014 Color Trends. This year we are seeing colors a bit more grayed out, soft and earthy. There are of course, a few deep shades as well. The color groups with the most new colors are the blues and greens.
You may look at the following colors boards and think, "I've seen that shade of blue before!", trust me, you haven't. It is slightly different from anything else you've seen. That's what makes it so fun!
Enjoy your Color Trends of 2014! Happy accessorizing!!
