Pantone Color Cues

Looking for a new color to update your home or wardrobe? Look no further than the Pantone Color Matching System located at pantone.com While bright colors like lime and fuchsia can be great accents, Pantone typically picks a more traditional color as its an annual "Color of the Year". Here are a few of Pantone's yearly picks as well as some bright, vibrant choices.

Living in a Zoo

Classic animal prints will never go out of style. Plus, there's a huge selection of wild animal decor for every room in your house. Recently, I recovered two of my mother's chairs in a great leopard print. Now they're the focal point in my den. So if you don't have any "animals" in your house, try adding a couple of new items and you can be "living in a zoo"!

Fresh Mint

The color mint looks fresh in any home design. Maybe we associate it with our love of chocolate chip ice cream. Who knows!
And it works with so many darker colors, including gold, black, blue, and orange. So add a fresh color to your home with a dash of mint!

While my sisters were art majors, I wasn't allowed that option, since they had struggled to find jobs. After college, my work has mainly involved pr and graphic design. But I would love an art studio of my own! Who wouldn't love a private place to paint, sketch and dream?

Summer reminds me of many trips to the beach -- and the wonderful homes and condos where I've vacationed. My favorite "home away from home" is always a seaside cottage with soft, soothing colors. And some of the best ones are in Seaside, Fla. Located on the Highway 30-A, Seaside is well-known by design professionals throughout the country. Here's a look at a few of the best designs by the sea...
