Bring It Back: There is strong movement to bring back a more simple time. Retro patterns abound with bold, graphic patterns and nostalgia are the keys to designing many color schemes. Decades are identified by a single color, pair or trio, in the mood that shaped that decade.
Shadow Play: In the morning, light colors appear as shadows with a softness that belies it's true hue. Softened edges give the observer the feeling that there are no borders, one color fades into another. Gentle colors ease our souls, relax our minds, and offer us peace of mind.
Inviting Entrances: Nothing says "Welcome" more than a bright front door. It is the "house jewelry" that makes a house a home, that stands out from the ordinary. Many colors found on front doors have a historic or cultural meaning steeped in tradition, tied to a style or the color of the body of the home.
Reality Exposure: Across the globe, visual arts, social media and tribal mentality provide a never ending source of inspiration. Colorful evening gowns, costumes and especially the garb worn by rockers, spurn young and old to imitate their colors and styles. Clean and bright colors led by trademark Rocker Black.
Nature Transformed: Nature is transformed into organic shapes with an ethereal quality. Leaves morph into exotic, otherworld shapes. Trees and shells become a modern pattern infused with playful light. The idea of nature exists, but in digital form that expands the definition of what is natural beauty.
Keeping with the Trends... Our professionally trained and certified colourists constantly scour the globe sourcing the latest in styles and trends.
Under their inspiration, walls become a canvas of lively tones or serene shades. Presented in a handy pocket-size portfolio, each colour can be conveniently compared to your existing or potential choices.
