Decorating with the trendy colors of the year

Decorate with simply white, which is the 2016 color of the year.

Each year, Benjamin Moore, the nationally recognized expert on paint and finishes, announced that the color of the year for 2016 will be simply white. The company stated that it wants interior decorators and designers to return to the "complexity of white" and appreciate its "subtle beauty."

Meanwhile, Lindsey Desimone at Elle Decor, states that when looking at 2015's popular color palettes, including mint green, dusty lilac and salmon, there may be different colors on the rise for popularity. Some of these colors include bright navy, teal and dark indigo. Whether you want the chic look of white or inviting color of bright navy, here are a few decorating tips when designing with some of the world's most popular colors:

  • Simply white: From white-washed flooring to luscious pearl-toned throws, simply white is the perfect choice for any modern-loving designer. Rustic white tables and sheer curtains make your home shine brighter and make it feel fresh and clean.
  • Mint green: Though this was last year's color, mint green is still a popular color to decorate with. To maximize the beauty of this subtle color, use it as an accent piece, such as hanging mint green shelves or incorporating eclectic-colored end tables.
  • Bright navy: As a suggested 2016 color of the year, this tone is perfect for adding that extra pop to the room. Use the power of this interesting color through buying bright navy comfy armchairs or strategically placing lamps or vases.
