Wow – let’s talk about color. I love color and get many calls to help clients in NW Indiana with color selections for their home.The color authority in the design industry Pantone has named YELLOW the hot trend for 2009. So – hello yellow. Yellow is showing up in rugs, dishware, furniture, really almost anything you can think of. Yellow is being defined in the golds as well, not just rubber duckie yellow, but the rich royalty of the shade. Recently I was taken aback by a wonderful rug by Anthropologie in their Chicago store, it is called the Coqo Floral Rug in yellow, you can check it out at www.anthropologie.com.

Yellow can be a difficult color to select for walls because it always seems to come out bolder than you expect – the way to correct that from the start is to select a shade one or two shades lighter than you think you want. Yellow is a color for joy – it makes people smile, maybe that’s why a smiley face is always yellow.

Next time you are out shopping or shopping online keep an eye out for these new rich shades of yellow, watch for your daffodils to soon be popping up in your yard here in Indiana as well.
