Colour of the Year 2019

Yes, obviously this is the time when we begin to think already of the next year trends - or at least the companies that work with trends. I like the choice of Behr for Color of the Year 2019 - 

"BEHR'S COLOR OF THE YEAR IS A BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE OF COLOR.

An honest, approachable color that conjures up the blueprints builders rely on to bring architectural designs to life, Blueprint creates a space where you can build your own reimagined life—where awareness of what we want to build for ourselves can transform into action."

I like it as a large accent:

 

or as a small fresh accent.

How do YOU like their choice? Would you use it in your home?

So comfortable trends

One of the trends that emerged last copule of years and I expect it to become stable is the feeling of wellness - we, as designers, often see the desire of clients to have this atmosphere from the spas and luxury hotels at their homes. Probably we all would like to have there spaces and products which sync with us emotionally and physically. One of the ways to achieve this is the increased use of plush sumptuous fabrics - we saw it at Milan Design Week 2018 and Maison et Objet in January and I expect to see it in September, too at the coming London Design Festival and M&O.
