Why the golden autumn in 2017 is not in the paletteyellow? How can the color of the year be embodied in the interior if there is no strength to take up the roller? Ask any person what color the autumn is. The answer will probably be balancing in the palette from canary yellow to brownish red. In a design world where there is no place for a cliche, the obvious color solutions would be too boring. This year the associations built on the seasonal palette of our latitudes have yielded to the expertise of the world's leading color institutes, as well as the largest paint manufacturers. The hue of the season today is a mood in the air, embodied in color. Trendersetters of the world famous paint brand Sherwin Williams claim: the fall of 2017 - a richly emerald color! The shade of Cascades became a harbinger of the main trend of the coming year, announced by the company in October. The color of 2018 by Sherwin Williams - Oceanside, which combines the same shades of blue and green.

The shades of blue are called the color of the ideal, and his emotional impact can convey calmness and confidence. Deep and velvety Oceanside, which absorbed the thirst for travel and the spirit of adventure, is ready to conquer a million hearts, because it is the palette of blue people who prefer most. Do you already have a desire to be on the wave of color? If for the repair for the sake of fashion trends there is neither the means nor the forces, and the shade of the year is still sunk into the soul, its brightness and saturation will harmoniously and gracefully add accents to the interior.
Basic solution: fashionable curtains
Один из самых простых способов освежить interior is a replacement for curtains. Windows in a room attract the most attention, so their competent decoration plays the same role as choosing a baguette for a painting. Correctly selected curtains of a fashionable shade will help to visually transform the space. But be careful, models made of heavy fabrics are only acceptable in a large room! In small apartments, it is better to give preference to curtains made of light materials, so you will visually expand the room.

Modern solution: covers on the sofa and armchairs
You can also “dress up” a soft one in a fashionable shadefurniture. Covers will give a second life to the sofa and armchairs, and their seasonal replacement will allow you not only to be in trend, but also to keep the furniture in perfect condition. And if you have four-legged pets in your apartment, this decor element is just a godsend, because the covers are very easy to care for. It is easy to choose a suitable cover: you need to measure the width and depth of the seats and armrests, and then choose the size of the cover that matches the parameters. It is necessary to take into account that one bright color accent, in this case the sofa, will play the main role and attract significant attention. To balance the color balance, complement the interior with painting or photography in similar tones or lay a carpet. If such an accent still seems too strong to you, buy decorative pillows - they will not draw attention to themselves, but will act as color spots.

One step ahead: personalized electrics
As you know, a harmonious space is createddetails. If your closets are already bursting with fashionable pillowcases and blankets of the current and not so current palette, and vases of seasonal shades are gathering dust on the mezzanine, you can choose an unconventional solution - add color to ... switches and sockets! The time of rapid changes and individualization has replaced boring standards and rules: it is no longer possible to imagine a stylish interior with banal electrics. Manufacturers - market leaders closely monitor trends and offer lines of electrical installations in the widest color ranges. But if you do not know compromises and want to see in your interior exactly the hit shade Oceanside (not a tone lighter or darker!), there is a solution for you. In the designer line of sockets and switches Merten from Schneider Electric there is a series M-Creative - the embodiment of personalization in details. Frames and overlays made of transparent plastic are removed without dismantling the mechanism, and any substrate can be placed underneath them - a piece of wallpaper in the same tone or, conversely, a contrasting square of textile in your favorite color. This is an excellent solution for a budget and non-standard accent in the interior that will attract the attention of your guests.

The main thing is balance
Whichever option you choose, it is important not tooverdo it, because your goal is to harmoniously fit such an active shade as Oceanside into the basic palette of the interior. The 60-30-10 rule will help you maintain balance and create a truly stylish space. In this proportion, the main shade should take up a little more than half, the auxiliary - half of the dominant, and the accent should be about a tenth of the main one. Let's imagine that the walls of your living room and upholstered furniture are in an ecru palette - this is the main color of your interior. The floor and furniture are the color of dark chocolate, the same 30% of the main shade. The remaining 10% will fall on the details, the most flexible for a quick and budget-friendly transformation of things. Vases, candles, rugs, posters, photo frames, figurines - those little things that create coziness and enliven the interior. Work with these details, and the space will sparkle with new colors.
