There’s a new minimalist color palette in town, and it doesn’t involve grey. While 2017 was all about tropical green, warm neutrals, and sophisticated camel accents, we predict that next year will be full of even edgier hues. If you need some help imagining how they might play out in your own space, look no further than the 7 rooms below.
Blush
A shade of dusty rose that reimagines neutral home styling. This barely-there color combines the simple chic of ecru and the vivacity of a classic pink.
Cherry berry
The red color was one of the first color predictions to break away from the neutrals that have ruled for years, It is pleasing, passionate and makes people feel special, like ‘red carpet treatment”
Sage
This greyish green hue is a soft, muted color that’s easy to decorate with, but doesn’t veer into boring or predictable territory, hence why it’s being dubbed a new neutral. People are becoming obsessed with this “new neutral.”
