High Point Market Goes Glam for 2016

1980's Are Back

Black walls, gold metallic, large floral prints and pink, pink, PINK are all the rage in interior design according to High Point Market 2016. Blogger Maria Killam was a trends panel member at the 2016 High Point Market and has summarized Market highlights in her blog, "The Trends You Need To Know Right Now For 2016". To harmonize dark walls, loud prints and pretty pinks, Magic Carpets recommends a neutrally-balancing grey or griege carpet, like Shaw's Natural Comfort in Crete, that can be found in our Shaw Carpet Catalog.

Back To Basics for Ben

Benjamin Moore announced their hot "new" color for the New Year-Simply White (OC-117). That's right-the old classic is making a comeback in homes across America. The reaction in the design community is cautious; the article "Simply White is the 2016 Color of the Year. Huh?" showcases interior design arguments for and against the "Plain Vanilla" color. Visit Benjamin Moore's 2016 Color Trends Home page to see Simply White and the other 22 pigment rich hues that will infiltrate stores in the New Year. Try accenting Simply White walls with Weimaraner (AF-155) or Luxe (AF-580). To make Simply White walls, more stunning, Magic Carpets recommends adding a bold splash of floor color with a blue, teal, or grey patterned carpet.

SW Is "Serene White" in '16

Peace, calm, and serenity will be gracing walls in 2016 with the Sherwin-Williams announcement of Alabaster (SW 7008) as Color of the Year. The truly neutral color choice is meant to combat the commotion and over stimulation of today's tech heavy existence, and harmonizes beautifully with Pantone's 2016 Color of the Year Rose Quartz. Alabaster is a versatile color; it can be accented with a rich Vintage Gold (SW 9024), a metallic Urban Bronze (SW 7048), or a refreshing Retro Mint (SW 9036). Balance Alabaster walls with a neutral "Greige" carpet, a soothing spa blue or calm green color for an all over zen effect, or play up your space with a fun pattern from the Tuftex Naturals Collection.
