A growing array of global influences are informing contemporary decorating and design – inspiring new color palettes for more sophisticated tastes.
Make Your Own Rules.
Balance traditional textures with modern geometry: try juxtaposing elements that contradict each other using neutral colors and bold accents to make it work.
Use Color as a Bridge.
Choose a palette that echoes the hand-crafted artisan objects you've collected in your travels. Combine one-of-a-kind items with mass-produced elements, using color to tie them together.
Combine Ethnic Styles.
Don't be afraid to mix a variety of ethnic styles. Use rich, vivid hues as a foundation for tying together multi-cultural décor.
Mix the Familiar with the Unexpected.
Give a contemporary edge to formal design with unexpected use of color and materials. Combine family heirlooms with modern pieces, using classic colors to unite disparate styles.
