Color Alert


The color forecast calls for rich shades of brown and bronze to dominate home decor in the next few years. The growing trend of natural neutrals does not mean these colors are wishy-washy. These 'brown' shades will be more grounded and earthy. Think rock, stone and soil.

Some of our favorite shades are found within the Benjamin Moore line of paints and include Van Buren Brown - a milk chocolate color that will really wet your appetite. (Great for a dining room) Branchport Brown - with just enough red in it to really warm up a space and looks especially good in a high gloss for added drama. Brown Sugar and Maple Syrup are lush browns you can adapt to any room and the color Wenge from the BM Affinity line is a dark, bittersweet chocolate color that paired with silvery green, red or lilac works well for any season. In fact, pair brown shades with blue this spring for variations of sea and sand.
