Touches of Gold

No. 1: Color Color Color

From “hot salsa” colors to cool blues and pastel pinks, Color is now a major player.
Even though we still love our neutral palette and for good reason, a neutral backdrop allows us to experiment by adding colorful accessories without a major monetary commitment.
The 2016 paint colors of the year from Benjamin Moore Simply White and from Sherwin-Williams Alabaster both create an opportunity to bring in upholstered pieces, fabrics and accessories with color.

Touches of Gold were everywhere from furniture and accessory products to fabrics.
The murmur of gold nudging out silver accents has been on the horizon for a while now but at the NY NOW Gift Show it was evident, gold was the finish of the day!
