In 2016 Rose quartz – Serenity combination was particularly fashionable with its well-being, cosiness and balance. In 2017 Greenery has triumphed with its regenerative freshness like the early days of spring. We are talking about the Color of the Year indicated by Pantone Color Institute, the highest authority in the matter of color, able to determine chromatic choices of a whole year in terms of fashion, painting and home furnishing.
And while we are curious to know what the spectrophotometer of Pantone will decide for 2018 (frequency will be announced next December), other significant world color realities compete to select new year’s nuance, able to symbolize and synthesize global culture, evoking feelings and attitudes.
According to Benjamin Moore Paints the catalyst will be Caliente, a strong, radiant and glamour brick- red.
Instead, PPG The Voice of Color indicates a sophisticated grey, or a very elegant, luxurious and soft desaturated black, called Black Flame, perfect for the indoor.
For Sherwin-Williams, Oceanside is warm, relaxing and remembers navy style and with gold recreate light-reflections on the sea.
Most of trendsetters bet on a shade between grey and green, in the pastel tone. A chromatic segment which is ideal for bringing out the prevalent fabric in 2018: velvet.
Upholstered furniture producers, such as fashion companies, define themselves kings of vintage fabrics. Velvet sofas and armchairs will be present in living rooms, bedrooms and even in bathrooms, among ’70s-style wallpapers and tiles with honeycomb type structure. All around, essentiality and large spaces to avoid the typical redundancy of this fabric which is already vintage and aristocratic.
These spaces are almost like they are made for Semplice collections, brand of Italialiving Group, one of the most versatile company among in Gabriele Magliola’s portfolio. Its design has a structural and figurative contemporary approach, characterized by linear wood perimeters and glossy metal feet. Upholstery is in crushproof polyurethane, with different kind of densities, the roundness of corners and the schematic geometry of arms. Among sectionals, Regina is the most suitable one which will be dressed in the velvet of 2018.
