FRIDAYfinds! – Are you a Marsala fan?
We’re talking about the COLOR,

not the wine…
Get ready to see a lot more of this lusty color in 2015!
As Pantone’s Color of the Year,
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute
describes it this way,
"This earthy yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily
to fashion, beauty, industrial design
home furnishings and interiors"

It’s not everyone’s favorite, but the way I see it,
it’s gorgeous translated into this rich damask fabric,
a quilted Chanel bag….

But how is this sophisticated hue going to
make its way into the interior design world?

We’re already seeing it woven into lush geometric rugs and accent pillows.
Use it as the foundation for your color scheme with an area rug, accent wall
or…

Make it the focal point with one singular piece like this sofa.
I also see it popping up as a small detail…
| Kravet trims |
as a trimming on neutral drapes or
border on a sofa skirt.
A little goes a long way!
My take on this color?
I’m intrigued.
There’s something very familiar about it,
almost a throwback to the terra cotta of the 70’s
but much more intense.
Not quite 80’s burgundy either.
It’s both new and old, which I find interesting.
I’m excited to see the newest translations
at High Point Market in April!
I’ll be circling back to this so keep in touch.
