2009 colour trends

By
Genevieve Provost

This year is all about soft colours, explosive tones and unusual combinations.

This year, decors are largely inspired by the tastes and preferences of a home's occupants. An unusual use of colour is a great way to personalize your living space. Try soft, floral hues with bright or dark colours. Black is also back in use, particularly to highlight an architectural element, and can be emphasized by combining it with a fresh, bright colour -- such as pale blue -- for a more joyous and lively touch.
To instill a mood both romantic and futuristic, softer nuances and chalk whites mix well with pure purple and dark slate. If a room is already painted a neutral colour, a bright, floral colour on only one wall will create a totally personalized mood, with the accessories -- cushions, bedding or a rug -- in other colour combinations providing the finishing touches.
