MARKET TRENDS | LOTS OF COLOR

EARTHY TONES

Earth tones like wine red, mocha mousse, forest green and mustard yellow are a simple way to add a touch of color and warmth into your home. These calm, confident colors are reminiscent of the natural elements around us, creating a sense of calm, tranquility in any space. By opting for fixtures in warmer tones in your home, you can create a harmonious environment that promotes both relaxation and well-being. Natural materials, toned down hues and nature inspired designs are the melding of comfort and creativity. 

 

POWDERY PASTELS

Along side all the earthy tones, powdery pastels are becoming popular for newly released lighting. Even ceiling fans are embracing the softer color palette! Pastel colors are light, desaturated shades that are soothing and calming. Shades like soft pinks, gentle blues, delicate yellows, and subtle greens. These colors are perfect for creating a sense of tranquility and relaxation in any room while still having a bit of whimsy.

 

COLORFUL CHOICES

Carefully curated color can do wonders for your design. Different colors evoke different emotions and feelings. Blue is associated with feelings of peace and serenity. Yellow and orange are energizing. Green feels fresh and organic. Custom color light fixtures make it so that you can find just the right fit and feel for any space. A fun trend that we are excited about is colorful lampshades! A cute lampshade in a colorful pattern can transform a simple lamp or sconce into a striking accent piece, bringing lively energy to your decor. They not only draw on design elements in the space but offer a sophisticated yet soft and lived-in feel.
