Fuchsia
Fuchsia was patented in 1859 as an aniline dye. It was renamed magenta later, so the two colors are the same. This is a vivid, middark, purplish red hue. Originally it was named after the flower and renamed after the place of a victorious battle in 1859. Since it is a stron and energizing color, let’s use it moderate in interior design, rather as a focal point or pop-color. It can be a good alternative instead of using red.

Umber
Umber is a yellowish, dark brown hue. It is made of a natural earth pigment which was named after its source, Umbria region of Italy. Both raw and burnt versions are used. Nowadays, umber brown is mostly used during aging furniture painting method: an antique look can be reached with applying it in a thin layer on a different color base, as shadowing.
My project 28.
I have designed this 66 sqm, 3 rooms block apartment for a senior couple. They moved in last year, but the final state could be photographed only now.
The flat was fully renovated. The wall of the middle room (living room) was removed and it was opened into the narrow corridor. The inner room is the bedroom, the closest to the entrance is the dining room, where there is a place for a desk and which has a balcony also. The small pantry in the kitchen was ceased, now the sink is on its place. This way the old and narrow block apartment kitchen now has G-shape layout, which results lots of storage space. There is a shower in the bathroom instead of the tub.
The built-in wardrobes were tailor made by a carpenter, all further furniture was mostly given (e.g. sofa set, living room cabinets, dining set). The classic style reflects well the taste of the owners. Pastel shades and patterns brake the contrast of brown and white. Accepting the bold roses-on-black wallpaper by the couple was a real surprise to me. It is very rare during a job, when there are a lot of decorating elements perfectly fitting for the style you dream of – it was a joy for me selecting and putting the paintings and other elements to their place.
Thus, a truly livable, hospitable, calm and peaceful home has come true.

Color of the year 2020
Every December Pantone company announces the color of the next year which effects interior design also. Classic Blue no. 19-4052 is the color of the year 2020.
This is a calming, medium dark blue, which is a cool but not too cold color. “Classic” attributive suggests that this hue is timeless, elegant and diffuses harmony. It symbolizes reconveyance of old values.
It is perfect both for base color and focal point. Since it is not a vivid color, it can be used in a large amount, even on all the four walls. A neutral color palette can be easily popped-up with it, without being too determining. Blue is not a food color, so use it moderately in the kitchen and dining room. It fits well for almost all styles.
Ask for help of an interior designer for making the color of the year 2020 appear in your home in style.
