Every year, designers await the verdict of the Pantone Color Research Institute. Twice a year, the world receives fashionable colors that serve as benchmarks for various industries. However, this year, designers were stunned by the announcement of two colors of the year: rose quartz and blue serenity.
We remind you that in 2015 the fashionable color was Marsala.

In the interior, it imparted a touch of noble luxury. However, one must be especially careful with the rich garnet hue. It can weigh down the interior too much. Of course, it looked especially striking in it. velour upholstered furniture, creating an extra velvet effect. This color of the year was used to subtly create accents, using it only in certain interior elements (decorative pillows, curtains).
According to furniture textile experts, washed-out, pastel, muted, and dusty shades are currently in fashion. Dirty pinks, peach, coral, dirty blue, and dirty turquoise are particularly popular. Beige, brown, and lilac are already out of fashion.
Serenity Blue is associated with freshness, boundlessness, confidence, stability, and tranquility. Rose Quartz, on the other hand, is associated with tenderness, warmth, comfort, relaxation, and well-being. These two colors of 2016 pair beautifully together. When used in interior design, they can create a wonderful atmosphere in your home.

How to play with fashionable colors?
You can choose a trendy wall color and soften other elements. Or, conversely, keep the entire interior neutral and only add some of the year's trendy shades to a few elements. This would look very beautiful in the living room. sofa One color, and the armchair another, but the decorative pillows on the sofa should match the armchair's color. With this color combination, you can choose an armchair and a sofa from different sets; the right color combination will bring them together.

The same can be done with other interior elements. For example, you could order a sofa in a serene blue, and pair it with a light olive-colored throw, casually draped over an armchair. This will create a beautiful tie-in between all the interior elements.

You can find all the current shades in the Italvelluti furniture fabric catalogs in our showrooms. These catalogs are among the few that offer multiple shades of a single color, allowing you to play with the tonal range of your interior. If you see a catalog with a large palette (several shades of blue, pink, etc.), it indicates that the fabric is made by a textile mill with extensive production capabilities. Few can afford to develop fabrics in multiple shades of a single color. If you look at inexpensive fabric catalogs, you'll notice that they typically offer colors in one or two shades. The list typically goes something like this: white, black, blue, red, pink, and beige. These colors from the same collection are virtually impossible to combine, so you won't be able to create subtle color accents. Therefore, if you enjoy experimenting, consider catalogs with a wide range of colors. These are primarily original Italian fabrics, which you can view in any of our showrooms.
