Marsala Love – the Pantone color of the year 2015

Last week, Pantone announced its Color of the Year 2015 in this press release:

Marsala!

Think Faded-Wine-Red

I am already hearing lots of interesting buzz about this choice, and I’ll tell you – here is where I stand:

I have hardly ever met a color I didn’t like. The same goes for Marsala. Actually, I LOVE to be stretched out of my usual color palette and think of ways that I can be creative, making a new color work for me. When you are an interior designer, making a color work is kinda just a day in the office.

Sometimes you have to work around that sofa. Or that family heirloom. Or that client fave that you could (personally) do without.

And it is in that spirit that I pretty much ADORE the challenge of making any color work. So if Marsala is not your instant cup of tea, challenge yourself to pair it with colors that ARE your cup of tea. It may be just the kick (or calm) your space needed.

If you are itching to know how to incorporate a new, fun color into your space, I shared tons of tips in my post about last year’s color of the year, Radiant Orchid.

And I definitely recommend taking the Color Quiz that I wrote up. This will help you figure out how much to bring a “new, trendy” color into your space.

Enjoy some Marsala eye candy,

and envision adding a splash of this faded-wine-red into your home and wardrobe:

I am especially loving this pale red paired up with cool tones, like the blue walls above. Stunning.

And I was tickled to discover that I already have a dash of marsala in our master bedroom, in the pretty little corner chair:

Do tell! What do YOU think of Marsala for 2015?

Would you be willing to toss a Marsala pillow into your mix?
