Industry News: Pantone's color of the year MARSALA

Pantone has officially announced Marsala as the color of the year 2015. I am quite shocked with the color, I thought it would be more royal blue or something bold. Nonetheless, I am actually kind of into the color. It's a more muted version of burgundy and I kind of am really into it. I love the way it looks with pale powder blue and other jewel tone colors. It's kind of fab and I feel like Kelly Wearstler would do something really cool with it. 

It's not as if you have to get seriously literal and throw this dusty color on your walls, but you can use it in super creative ways, like adding some poufs to your space, painting your front door in the hue, covering you table with a gorgeous wine colored tablecloth, etc.

I am also loving with grey and deep rich woods. Here are a few wall color inspirations I like too...

I love the color in fashion too. Olivia P rocks the look so well. Here is how you can pull it off...

Gigi New York has some very chic accessories to bring in the marsala look to your world.

Industry News: Hunt Slonem for Kravet Groundworks

Every so often, when you find an artist that actually inspires you to design around their art, it's like the greatest find of all. Art can be such a difficult thing to place in a home. However, there are some artists that are THAT good, you don't even need to sell the art. If you know the work of Hunt Slonem, then you will most likely feel the same way. He's most known for his work with bunnies that you've seen around the design glossies. Try buying his art on 1st dibs and you will see just what I mean. Now, his new book has come out "When art meets design" and I am beyond ecstatic to get my copy in hopes to tear out some pages and frame them for art perhaps a little more in my price range. The book is gorgeous and right on time with his new collaboration with Kravet Groundworks, a fine wallpaper and fabric collection so he can infiltrate your home. 

These fabrics and wallpapers are sure to sell out. With rich and vivid colors, this collection brings something fun and unique to design. I love the idea of art and design coming together in such a different way. It's very Spring fashion, no?
