In the world of interior design and window fashion, 2016 is bringing wispy, clean and crisp color palettes featuring…drum roll, please…shades of white!
Color giants like Sherwin-Williams, Glidden and Benjamin Moore have dubbed off-white the color of the year. Paint color names in this family of white shades include Simply White from Benjamin Moore, Ivory Keys from Behr, Alabaster from Sherwin-Williams and Cappuccino White from Glidden. Colors like this can be used together to provide depth and interest, so you don’t feel like you’re living in a stark white world.
Don’t panic thinking that your home needs to be deprived of color! Just the opposite. Shades of bright white and off-white can be used as a contrast to your favorite pops of color to make them even more vivid. We call it intelligent use of “negative space” in a colorful palette. Think of it as the white space necessary to allow the main elements of the composition to shine.
That’s why we’re excited about the endless possibilities with window fashions!
