Marsala – Colour of the Year
Last year, we wrote about Pantone’s colour of the year – radiant orchid - so we thought it only correct to bring you up to date with this year’s: and that colour is Marsala.
For those of you who are wondering what Pantone is, it’s actually an American Company that has developed a system of exact colour matching so that you can describe colours exactly ensuring colour consistency. This is especially important in the printing industry and of course the interior design and styling world. Each year, Pantone choose a colour of
the year and we at Lotus are delighted to share some interior styling ideas with you.
Marsala is a fortified wine which according to Panotne has a “tasteful hue that embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal whilst its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors”.
For interiors, Marsala, whilst complex and full-bodied, isn’t overpowering. It can provide a unifying basis for interior spaces, adding elegance to any room. The colour is particularly suited to rough surfaces such as rugs, cushions and curtains. It is a welcome colour also in the kitchen and dining room, ideal for tabletops. It can be especially prominent in striping and floral patterns found for example in placemats and dinnerware. In the bedroom, it can bring a sense of opulence for throws, bed-linen and curtains.
At Lotus Home Styling, we are excited by the possibilities of this wonderful colour and when added to the latest pattern printing techniques we’re enjoying showing clients a rather pleasant and unexpected surprise with the use of Marsala and it’s complimentary colours. If you’re thinking it’s time one of your rooms benefitted from some luxurious touches, or indeed you’d like to discuss re-thinking your entire home, then call Tammi at Lotus Home Styling or pay us a visit. We’re just in Benitachell near the traffic lights on the Moraira Road. We look forward to hearing from you.
