Colors that evoke nature, opulence, and warmth.
Focus on greens and blues—particularly those that evoke the sea like a soft pale aqua, so restful and calming. Also popular is robin's egg blue. Pair these with grays or tans/camels/tobaccos/and browns for a dramatic effect
Reds, golds, and tangerines bring warmth to your interior. A favorite color in New England is red walls in the dining room. But a deep and dark terracotta can be great too! (I can be a little tired of red in the dining room) Dress up your living areas with throws pillow in silk. Try paprika, or persimmon-colored silk with a luxurious tassel trim.
Light woods like maple are still popular but dark wood tones are back and create a statement! Kitchens with black cabinets are the new rage. Dark cabinets do not make for a dark kitchen if there's enough light from both windows and a good lighting plan.
