2009 colour trends
This year is all about soft colours, explosive tones and unusual combinations.
CELEBRATING BOLDNESSIf simplicity reigns in 2009, it certainly won't be lifeless, with ultra-bold and unusual colour combinations (like peach and fuchsia, mustard yellow and teal, electric blue and dark slate) getting top billing. The goal: daring to achieve a unique look by mixing and matching influences. To make this style more accessible, vibrant hues blend nicely with pastels or very dark tones and can be complemented with neutral colours. If you're afraid to try chicer colours, the colour-blocking technique is a practical and very trendy option. It consists of using colour in only one section (be it a strip, a rectangle or a square) rather than applying it to the entire room. To make the most of this look, the other walls should be painted a pale and neutral colour, even a pure white.
