The Hot Colour For Home Decor

Looking for inspiration to redecorate your living room or den? One of the quickest updates is a fresh coat of paint and this year marsala is the hot colour, according to global colour experts, Pantone.

Marsala was selected as the 2015 Pantone Colour of the Year, and will be seen in beauty products, fashion and most especially home interiors.

“Much like the fortified wine that gives marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.

Homeowners can add elegance to any room by incorporating the rich hue in accent pieces, accessories and paint. Marsala’s plush characteristics are enhanced when the colour is applied to textured surfaces, making it an ideal choice for rugs and upholstered living room furniture.

Marsala is also a natural fit for the kitchen and dining room – ideal for tabletop, small appliances and linens throughout the home. The hue will be especially prominent in striping and floral patterns found in printed placemats, dinnerware, bedding and throws.
