My 2011 Color Forecast

 

 

 

Hello Lovelies. I've missed being more present with you this week since its back to the real job. How are you doing?? I know I've said it already but I am so looking forward to fall. to a new season and new beginnings and then a new year right around the corner. After reading my dear friend, Kristie's post over on Making Arrangements yesterday on the Sherwin Williams Color predictions for next year, I was so inspired that I created my own ensemble based on their findings. And as a talked with Elizabeth of Betty Hatchett design last night we made some of our own speculations on the moving of color and design trends away from hard edged graphics and saturated colors to something softer more fluid ... maybe even toned down a bit.  So won't you join in the conversation! What are your findings? What are your predictions for design this year?

Ooh, Heather! Love the colors and the color combos you created! I love punches of saturated color on top of muted ones, and layering colors with varying intensity. Lovely post, as usual!
