Color Trends | Winter 2016
SIMPLIFY WITH A RELAXED MODERN STYLE
Modern simplicity showcases much of today’s design style. As we turn to 2016, themes of creating restful havens within our home continue to take focus. Stepping away from computers, phones and embracing downtime helps us towards this goal. Design elements taken from nature are a perfect partner in the quest for modern stylings. Their timeless story helps us balance our lives. Modernized versions of wood grains that have been hand scraped, textural surfaces that mirror exotic finishes and updated geometric designs add to this refreshed style.
Also influencing color are global styles incorporating the exciting and unusual. With the opening of Cuba, the spotlight on Rio de Janeiro for the Summer Games and our emerging awareness of lands near and far, our 2016 Winter Palette honors these influences and our quest for usable colors that add spirit and personality.
