Marie Flannigan, an award winning interior designer, says that jewel tones are coming back-how exciting! Ruby reds and sapphires along with more earthy shades like saffron and Cyprus are on their way to bring a new aesthetic and joy to your home interior. A lot of new yellows are appearing too, and they are generally soft. We have been using them to paint entire rooms with amazing neutrals and as accents to bolder colors such as aquatic blues. An ochre yellow can pair nicely with a more earthy tone as well.
