Turquoise: The color of 2010

Jan Smith, LRM Interior Design’s Senior Designer, lets our readers in on a fantastic Insider Tip: “Various interior design sources agree that the main color palettes being used today in home interiors are one of the following three trends.”

“Trend number one: Anything eco-friendly involving ‘nature’ or ‘going green,’” explains Jan.  “Using an ecologically conscious color scheme is still very prevalent in today’s market, as are furniture and accessories, and how you apply or install the décor in your home.”

“Trend number two: Exotic-themed palettes,” says Jan. “Especially colors inspired by African or Moroccan fabrics and landscapes. These are still the latest palette to use when punching up a room with color nowadays.”

“Trend number three, and last but not least—purple is in! This color is so versatile and its hues can range from light lavenders to deep plums. All hail royal purple!” Jan notes: “This color is a favorite of our designer Kari Seydewitz.”

Jan goes on to say that as far as the neutrals are concerned, gray and taupe have become the new beige, while yellow and aqua are now the hot new accent color. Pantone, the color experts, have named turquoise the color of 2010. But then again, LRM Interior Design already knew that, as you can see from the photo, taken at one of LRMID’s projects at a coastal property in Newport Beach!

“It doesn’t matter what color you fall in love with,” says Jan. “LRM Interior Design can help incorporate it into your living space. Lisa has designed an entire room around the color of a lamp!
