Guest Post At Home in Arkansas 2015 Color of the year

Each year the Pantone Color Institute nominates a “Color of the Year”,
forecasting which specific hue designers and consumers will supposedly
be using in their homes, wearing, and buying for the next 12 months.

So of course,

I can’t resist writing about this when the 2015 color has just been released.

“Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors,” says Pantone

How they choose these colors is a mystery to me.

Sometimes, I like what they choose and other times not so much.

This time I actually do and I can’t wait to mix this earthy color with some of my favorites.

I am pleased to say that it looks great with the color that I just chose for my office walls

In this Tribeca Loft, Marsala couldn’t fit in better.
It pairs perfectly with Emerald Green,
the still popular Color of the year for 2013.

Marsala window panels make a bold statement.
I love the contrast against simple white walls.

For all of you that have your houses on the market (don’t want to do anything permanent)
or just want a touch of Marsala.
Barstools are a great way to add it to your space.
