    \n
  1. Pantone\u2019s <\/strong>Mocha Mousse<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    With Mocha Mousse<\/em><\/a>, Pantone takes inspiration from chocolate and coffee and the comfort that comes from even just thinking about them. It\u2019s earthy, warm, and a perfect grounding foundational tone. Imagine movie night in a cozy sectional in mocha<\/a> brown microsuede with throw pillows adding to the peace in a green, grey, and pink botanical<\/a> pattern jacquard and a beige<\/a> tweed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Valspar\u2019s <\/strong>Encore<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

The perfect color for a soothing and welcoming bedroom chaise or a pair of living room armchairs in woven chenille jacquard<\/a> or herringbone chevron velvet<\/a> with elegant garden white floral brocade<\/a> curtains and natural wood accents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Behr\u2019s <\/strong>Rumors<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Behr is spreading rumors. Well, not exactly, but their deep ruby red pick for color of the year, Rumors<\/em><\/a>, is certainly adding drama and energy. Bring it home with an ottoman or accent chair in ruby red diamond pattern matelass\u00e9<\/a> or a slightly deeper merlot<\/a> Crypton velvet, turning heads in any space and especially in an otherwise largely neutral vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Sherwin-Williams\u2019 <\/strong>Color Capsule<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Sherwin-Williams cheated a bit \u2014 and we\u2019re here for it.<\/em> Their Color Capsule of the Year<\/em><\/a> celebrates an entire family of colors, offering nine ranging from subtle pastels to rich (but soft) jewel tones, all complementing rather than competing with each other. Embrace the Capsule<\/em> with dining chairs in purple linen<\/a> (like their Mauve Finery<\/em>) and curtains in abstract watercolor<\/a> geometric pattern beige, cream, and grey cotton (like their Sunbleached<\/em>). Sleep soundly under a headboard in eco-friendly performance velvet in cornflower<\/a> blue (like their Rain Cloud<\/em>). So fun. So<\/em> many possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Benjamin Moore\u2019s Cinnamon Slate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Let\u2019s sprinkle some cinnamon on top of all this colorful deliciousness. Benjamin Moore\u2019s Cinnamon Slate<\/em><\/a> \u2014 a blend of a spicy plum and a creamy brown \u2014 comes bearing a modern sophistication. Class up a home office with a sofa or pair of reading chairs in wisteria<\/a> linen tweed or amethyst<\/a> textured velvet. Complete the scene with throw pillows in winter blue and grey floral<\/a> linen and add a knit throw blanket too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Colors Of The Year And Fabrics Are Your Home’s Design Style Soulmates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Paint is great, but with all respect and love for the paint companies behind many of the aforementioned colors of the year, paint is, well, just on the walls. It lacks the texture, dimensionality, and literal ability to move that fabrics have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Also, painting is more of a commitment. Between all the prep work, painting, clean up, and moving all your stuff back \u2014 it\u2019s a whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Fabrics, on the other hand<\/em><\/strong>, free you to play and experiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
