It’s a brand-new year. Time for a fresh start and that includes giving your newlywed nest a facelift! Major renovations cost a pretty penny and might be out of the question considering the current economic climate. However, a simple coat of paint can work wonders for very little money. To find out what’s hot for 2009, we checked in with the paint pros at PARA (para.com). Here are four trends that you should definitely try at home.
Personal Style
Your home is a reflection of who you are, so have fun with it, and don’t be afraid to express yourself. Whether your taste is edgy or traditional, there’s a colour to suit your individual style. Extreme paint finishes, from super-gloss to super-matte, enable you to create a truly unique look.
Fashionable Shades
The ready-to-wear runways were a major source of inspiration for 2009’s paint palette. Dress up your home with haute hues drawn straight from the catwalks of New York, London, Milan and Paris. PARA’s new colour system currently offers 2,000 stylish shades, including “Prêt-à-Porter Purple,” “Spiked Heels” and “Designer Clutch.”
Tasty Hues
Culinary inspiration is also important this season. Rich, delectable shades such as “Caramel,” “Lime Soda,” “Double Chocolate Fudge” and “Lemon Custard” are sure to spice up your space and tantalize your taste buds!
Bright Ideas
Neutral hues will always be in style, but this season it’s all about punchy colours: lively shades of purple, yellow and lime green are sure-fire hits. Choose an accent wall, or give your kitchen cupboards a fresh coat for an affordable pick-me-up.
