Artwork

Green is a great color to incorporate in your decor through artwork. Art is such a personal choice that we recommend waiting until you fall in love with a piece before just buying on a whim. The great thing about green is it pairs well with so many other colors like blues, or as the pop of color against neutrals.

Hot Colors for Summer

Navy

One color that is huge right now is navy. This is such a gorgeous color to incorporate into your decor. Navy is a deep and dramatic color so it is best used in appropriately proportioned doses. For example, you wouldn't want to use this color on all the walls in a tiny powder bathroom, it would be just too overpowering. If you are going to paint your walls in navy, make sure the size of the room can handle that deep color. It is also great to use in touches here and there like pillows and accessories. 

Soft Gray

Soft grays and “greiges” (a mix between beige and gray) are another very popular color not only for summer but for years to come. This is coming to be known as the “new neutral” as people are getting away from the “builder beiges” and boring tans. There is such a wide range within this palette that you are sure to find just the right one for your home’s needs.
