This week I thought we’d take a break from the hoop-a-la that surrounds the holidays and introduce you to ICI’s Color of the Year 2010. 

Here’s what ICI had to say about their choice:
“In keeping with our overall theme of ‘Reclaim’, we are looking towards the qualities of truth, integrity, openness and hope. The Colour of [...]

Like most everyone, I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year. I’ve got my wonderful family and friends, my health, my fabulous color trend career, and of course…totally trendy fall table settings. With the season rich in tradition rapidly approaching, I’ve got the itch for bringing something new and unexpected to the “table.” [...]

Having grown-up in the “Halloween Capital of the World,” this delightfully devilish day has always been one of my favorites.

OK, so I have to admit I’m a little bummed that today is the first official day of fall as color trends often turn drab and somber during this time of year. But the sizzling summer hues brought such optimism and vibrancy to the palette, and if you’re anything like me, you’re not ready for [...]

The statement Going “Green” has represented our efforts to build eco-awareness and to live a more self-sustaining lifestyle.  The color green dominates much of the natural world; grass, trees, and plants including food sources, which makes it an ideal backdrop in interior design.

Avid trend followers, magazine readers, department store shoppers, and Color for Your Home Blog visitors may have already heard the news that Yellow is the hot color this year. Announced by Pantone at the end of ‘08, I’ve been waiting to really see this “Mimosa” take shape.
