2009 colour trends
This year is all about soft colours, explosive tones and unusual combinations.
BACK TO NATURERecent seasons have been marked by a surging environmental movement that's still going strong this year; now, however, the trend is purer and more pared down than ever. The objective is to combine simplicity, durability and minimalism in an effort to create rooms that are pleasant and down-to-earth. Driving this trend are materials and textures inspired by nature, such as stone and wood, which set the overall tone for decor, with rich botanical hues -- green or yellow -- brought in to magnify the look. For an atmosphere at once relaxing and lively, these colour tones can be coupled with whites, fresh and creamy beiges or pale greys.
