(NC)—There's no doubt that adding a new colour to an out-of-date room is an easy and inexpensive way to revive your home. So what's big for spring? Frank Turco, the colour, trend and design manager at The Home Depot Canada, has identified three key trend themes for spring 2009. Go ahead: get inspired! Select the theme you like best, work with colours in that theme, and let your creative side take over. It's really that easy!
Architecture
Ornate crown molding, etched apothecary pendant lights, salvaged artifacts and textured fabrics…all of these elements from past eras have a place in the modern home. Give historic architectural details a second life as focal points in today's stylish interiors. Set out to salvage something beautiful and juxtapose it against a bold, rich tone. Think dramatic accents of colour on classic design pieces, like ceiling medallions, for example. Colours that fit into this theme include: rich reds, various shades of grey and deep marine blues.
Grey Matters
Tone and texture come to life in various shades of grey – from colour palettes to finishes, this hue is the new black for au courant interiors and exteriors. Natural elements like marble, pewter, graphite, and weathered wood are all going grey for this look. Stainless steel dominates the kitchen beyond appliances to counter tops, cabinets, seating, hardware and lighting. Grey is centre stage in paint palettes, floor coverings, metallic wallpapers and prints.
Cabana
Bring hot, dramatic hues to your home in time for summer. Tiles and cabinets in playful shades of blue, green, yellow and red are a surprising addition to kitchens and baths. Pop art inspired paint palettes and wallpaper design come alive, while bold colours like red, green, and orange bring rooms to life. And don't limit yourself – take this look outside. Lounges with shades, privacy screens and gazebos fit nicely in this theme. Summertime never looked better!
