Fall Colors for 2011

Pantone recently stoke a pose and unveiled their color preview for Fall 2011. I love when they come out with their shades for the season.

It’s no secret that home décor trends tend to follow fashion trends. This fall, fashion designers & interior designers alike will be taking cues from cityscape’s, countryside’s, sepia tones, cool metals, paring the girly with the masculine, deep textures & incorporating the old with the new!

The great part about the shades for the season is you can incorporate them in a big way or just by adding a few pops of color with accessories! First, let’s get introduced with the fall shades…

The peeps at Pantone broke them down into categories… Here are the women’s shades…

And here are the men’s {which are only slightly different}…

Lovely, right??

For the entire breakdown of color descriptions visit Pantone!

For fun, I searched high & low for some inspiration to showcase these fab color choices…

 

These rooms are filled with deep jeweled tones! Deep colors always make me think of fall! What about you? Are you a deep shade person? DO TELL. Love the new colors for the upcoming season? Too early to be talking about fall?? {Hey, at least we haven’t mentioned Christmas yet!}

* Stop by tomorrow for a fun post inspired by the new fall shades…

Until then, my mom and I will be sewing up a storm. We have TONS of things on the sewing agenda today! Post to come!

    I am loving the deep jewel tones. The purple & teal are so beautiful! It’s hard to think about fall right now… but I do love the teal inspiration room! It will be fun to see what items in home decor and fashion they come out with using these colors!!

        Glad you stopped by! I love the idea of pairing purple and gold… very luxurious and rich! What room are you thinking of incorporating those colors in?
