"I am currently loving textile wall art; tapestries, felted wall hangings, aboriginal quilts. We give them a fresh look with modern framing. I find they naturally tell a story and add so much character and depth to a space. Added bonus, there are rarely two of the same, because the best interiors are the ones that cannot be duplicated." sabbeinteriordesign.com

“Regardless the style of home we are designing, green has a way of bringing in a natural, earthy feel. My personal style preference is fresh and earthy so when I want to choose color I am often drawn to a shade of green. My attraction to green doesn't change with a trend, it is a consistent fave.” apriltomlin.com

“Undeniably, we favor neutral hues, but we are carefully gravitating to warmer colors like terra-cotta, sienna, and ochre. In particular, our use of ochre has emboldened the grays and whites we are known to leverage heavily. From velvet on upholstery and linen for accent pillows to spun yarns in rugs and hints in artwork and other mixed media, this color marries well the daring with the calculated.” bureauinteriordesign.com

“I am loving Green! Particularly for upholstered pieces, we’ve used a lot of green for our clients lately. I’ve always considered green a neutral, and love using it in rooms that are adjacent to the exterior to truly bring the outside in. It’s versatile, not too masculine or feminine, and forever one of my favorites!" debbiemathews.com

“I’m loving Benjamin Moore’s Amethyst. I’ve always been drawn to colors that instill depth. Maybe it all traces back to my birthstone being Amethyst or it could possibly be because I love how lighter colors and fabrics seem to become more important among this hue.” chadjames.com

“I am absolutely loving bright yellow this season! I love it most for wall coverings with pattern, fabric accents (pillows, accent chairs, and draperies), and accent pieces like lamps, lamp shades, and art. Yellow is such a vibrant and cheerful color, and who can’t use a little cheer?” jldesignnashville.com
