No Place Like Home

There's always a place for tried-and-true classics, especially when updated with a contemporary twist. This nuanced, elegant palette heralds a return to harmony, stability and practicality. There's a balance between old and new, between our renewed appreciation for formality and our growing interest in protecting the environment.

DRIVING FORCES: Weakened housing markets and high consumer debt are motivating homeowners to create safe havens. Meanwhile, the green design movement is maturing and moving mainstream, putting a beautiful new spin on eco-consciousness.

SUPPORTING ELEMENTS: Renewable and recycled materials, eco-friendly products, efficient architecture with smaller footprints, natural-fiber fabrics given prewashed treatments and natural dyes, exposed beams, stamped sheet-metal screens, streamlined upholstery with tailored shapes and menswearstyle detailing.

UNEXPECTED COLORMIX: The soft tones of Evening Shadow (SW 7662) and Pink Shadow (SW 0070) balanced with Agate Green (SW 7742) and Bateau Brown (SW 6033).
