Colors of Fall 2011

Fashion and interior design often go  hand in hand, especially when it comes to color. It is not uncommon to see the palette and inspirations of the latest runway shows translated into the season’s hottest interior design trends. Since summer is almost over and fall is on the way, let’s take a look at the colors that will dominate in Fall 2011 according to Pantone. Earthy browns, greens and blues, combined with pops of vivid color, make this an incredibly versatile palette. Take a look at some examples of interiors drawing from this color scheme. An all violet room could get dreary, but pops of Honeysuckle, Deep Teal, and Nougat keep things lively.   The sunny golden hue of Bamboo, paired with muted Cedar and walls painted in a hue similar to Quarry, creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfectly suited to a lazy afternoon of reading.   Deep Teal, Honeysuckle and Bamboo provide a striking contrast in this eclectic interior.   This soothing bedroom is a much more subtle take on the palette, with Nougat walls, Emberglow drapes and night stand, and a small Cedar chest.     A neutral sofa, walls and flooring in Nougat get a breath of fresh air with accessories in bright golden tones like Bamboo and a vibrant end table in Deep Teal.
