Overview

When design decisions are being made, the question inevitably arises about the right color direction to take; this year the challenge is as great as ever as we are at a crossroads. With the consumer’s constant desire to see something new continuing to influence color and design trends, the question becomes what path will best drive success and consumer/client satisfaction? As color choices are so closely tied to personal expression, the answer is in developing the ability to better assess and gauge client aspirations and lifestyle needs so that you can encourage the use of invigorated color/design palettes that will persuade, engage, enlist, and enable new directions.

Our PANTONERVIEW home + interiors 2017 trend forecast offers visual inspiration, key color direction and suggested color harmonies for interior design and home furnishings, including housewares, appliances, decorative accessories, bedding, textiles, bath, toys, flooring, indoor and outdoor furniture, paint, floral and food design. Individual 1” by 4” cotton swatch strips of each of the 81 forecasted colors also included.

Features

PANTONEVIEW home +interiors 2017 is segmented by color trend with each story broken out in the following way:
‧Introduction
Each palette is introduced with a written overview of the trend and a supporting visual that sets the tone and highlights some of the key colors in the trend palette.
‧Inspiration Photos
Four pages of photos visually display the lifestyle concept or inspiration from which the trend story evolved and developed, as well as the visuals of products and end-uses where the trend colors are applied.
‧Harmonies
Located within the photo pages is a printed color card of the trend palette along with the individual palette rationale, key color directives and color harmonies.
