Friday Favorites - Pop of Color Trend

One of the things I've been doing lately is looking at the predictions of decor trends for 2017. And though I don't follow trends religiously, it is interesting to know what is coming up and also, it's a great way to find ways to freshen up our interiors. After several years of all grey rooms and a sea of neutrals, we are headed for color! Can you believe it? And not just any color. Apparently brighter colors are the ones we'll be seeing more of! People are talking about greens, sunshine yellows, cobalt blues, and hot pinks. 

Lucky for me (phew!), white doesn't seem to be going anywhere. But where there is white, there is a pop of bright color. And this I can get behind! For as much as I love white, I do like there to be a balance, and I think a little bit of color fills that bill. It keeps predominantly white or neutral rooms from going too cold, adds interest, and especially now in the winter, it really adds some much needed oomph! I've always loved a neutral room with some color, and in fact I wrote a post on it last year here, but in that case, I was referring to softer, more muted colors. In 2017, we're talking brights! I may not change my entire rooms to brights or deep, jewel-toned colors, but I think a little color in a neutral or white room can be gorgeous. For me, the operative word is little.

Love this all-white kitchen with just the antique kilim to add a punch of color. Stunning! Design by Chanee Vijay.
