Colour of the Year: A Guide to Creating a Warm & Inviting Palette
Every year Interior Designers await; with curious anticipation, the colour trends projected for the year to follow. The revelation for ‘2023 did not disappoint with Sherwin Williams dropping a stunning range of colours expected to make their way onto our walls, textiles, artwork and more. Putting colours such as “Redend Point” onto our radar, Sherwin Williams encapsulated everything we are loving in design right now; warm and earthy tones neutral enough to carry us from season to season. With cool greys settling into the background for the time being, the foundation for a softer, much cozier palette has taken centre stage with a gentle nod to the bolder brown, caramel and coral tones we know and love.
Creating Your ‘2023 Palette…
When developing a palette, we always consider the undertones we are working with and, in the case of “Redend” the undertones are warm and creamy. We always want to start with a palette that has complimentary undertones, by which we means that our selection - with some exceptions - should also have a creamier base. Taking a look at the complimentary colours to the “Redend’” you see that each selection; from greens to reds, feels very warm with a subtle richness that steers away from the cooler bluer tones.
There are SO many opportunities to incorporate these colors into all aspects of your home, from the floors up to the ceilings. If a full styling overhaul isn’t the goal, these tones can by introduced in a more select way with area rugs, toss cushions and throws, or accessories that incorporate the softer neutral colours for walls and cabinetry.
