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.

At its Paris showroom in the St. Germaine district a couple of weeks ago, I was pleased to get up close and personal with Metaphores’s 2010 introductions. My pick for most interesting texture from their new “New York, New York” collection is:
