smoking-hot hues
If you’ve been following my blogs on trends I observed at Paris’s Maison show, you may be afraid that vivid color has vanished from the homescape. No worries. The warm-gray trend I blogged about earlier is only part of the palette story….the neutral part.
Color is, indeed, alive and well in the fabrics and furnishings introduced last month. And, it’s smokin’ hot.
Warm colors—especially my personal favorite, orange—are spicing up spaces as pumpkins, paprikas and all shades in between make sizzling style statements in the upscale market.

Could someone please recommend a shade of terra cotta (available in Valspar preferrably) for a master bedroom which gets very little light? I love the “Peachy Keen” layout living room color but everything I have tried either leans toward little girl’s room peachy pink or too orange. I have never had so much trouble with a color choice before. Thanks, Victoria

That’s a tough one. If the room gets little light, then most of the richer terra cottas will be too dark. I would get several paint samples from different companies and put each one on the wall to see what happens under different daily light conditions. A custom mix is probably going to be your answer. Good luck!
