Vermilion

Vermilion (alias Chinese red) is a brilliant orage-red hue. It dominates the space, so use it very carefully in interior design. It is recommended as a color for accessories if you want to throw up space or creating a focal point is the target. It should be used on large surface in a room which we stay only a little, but not for sleeping (e.g. separate dining room). The pigment was made from mineral cinnabar (mercury sulfid) which is toxic, so it is now produced artificially.

Color of the year 2022

Dec13

Every December Pantone company announces the color of the next year which effects interior design also. Very Peri no. 17-3938 is the color of the year 2022, which is from periwinkle. It was created specifically for this occasion.
This is a soft, pleasing blue-violet hue, which looks like a pastel although it is not. The blue was mixed with pink rather than red, which gives the slightly airy effect. Since it contains much more blue than pink, it can be classified as blue. It gives you peace of mind, but also gives you curiosity.
It is a medium dark shade, so it can be used in larger quantities. It fits well for country and shabby chic styles, nursery, bedroom or even at home office. It can refresh a palette of neutral colors as it is a cool shade.
Ask for help of an interior designer for making the color of the year 2022 appear in your home in style.

Jet-black

Nov26

Jet-black is the darkest shade of black. The light shine (metallic luster) gives its elegance. It can be combined with any color, all of them will seem to be stronger and more vivid. Its use in interior design requires boldness even if it is only on accessories. It was named after the semi-precious stone jet, which is not a mineral but a piece of wood formed under high pressure and wet conditions. It is hard to work with it. It was mined for making mourning jewelry in the Victorian era.

Off-white

Sep22

Off-white is a shade of white with a few yellow undertone. It used alongside pure white can appear dirty – so, avoid this combination. It is used in interior design if pure white might look too rigid or intense. Off-white is a good complementary color for both strong colors and neutral palette and looks like white. For example, when painting door and window frames, wall panels, mouldings, it is worth trying next to the selected wall color.
