Incorporate 2017 Color Trends Into Your Home Design
If color forecasters are to be believed, 2017 will be the year
of greenery, deep purple (called Shadow), and taupe (Poised Taupe, to be
exact), according to Pantone, Benjamin Moore, and Sherwin Williams,
respectively. Considering each of these hues are nowhere near one another on
the color wheel, is it any surprise homeowners are wondering how to incorporate
them into their designs? Might this year’s colors impact how homeowners and
businesses choose natural stone designs?
“Color trends impact the world of natural stone less than other
design elements such as paint and fabric,” says Brock Mettz, owner and lead
designer at Brock Lane Mettz Design. “With the exception of trending
neutrals, such as white, grey, black, and beige tones, natural stone will be
less impacted by the ‘colors of the year.’ Natural stone most often acts as the
backdrop for other, more temporary, elements.”
There is no denying that color can energize or soothe, creating
a feeling of warmth or coolness in a room. But color is more than just paint on
the wall. Natural stone colors can complement metals in a kitchen design and
make it feel less industrial, while all-white kitchen cabinets might pair well
with white marble to create a contemporary kitchen landscape.
Color trends are influenced by a number of factors – from nature
and the arts to the political climate and economic environment. How does this
translate into home design? Homeowners are seeking to create an ambiance in
their spaces using color and light.
Alyssa Bockman, design consultant with Stoneshop, realizes homeowners scour websites and home
décor magazines for ideas because they want their home to be on trend or in
style. When it comes to color, most homeowners near their Philadelphia metro
area headquarters opt for keeping their major fixed surfaces in neutral tones
and then accent with fun pops of color, such as greens or jewel tones.
