I would like to first say these are NOT my trends these are taken from the experts.
COLOURS for 2008 –
We will see a host of warm earthy tones, honey yellows, citrus greens and moody ocean blues. Plain white will wane in favour of soft, sandy mid tones and stone-coloured neutrals. Expect warm oranges, glowing pinks and soft, twilight purples.
We can also except to see colours drawn from traditional Hispanic culture – think strong red, fiery orange, deep purple and flashes of gold.

All I can say to the above colour trend is……bring it on!
I am really looking forward to working with these colours.
Although, not so new to me, I am usually a good year in front of the colour trends anyway.
So apologies all those who have just put Chocolates in their home…..you are now out of trend!
BUT….we all now I am not one to follow trends…..my motto is…”if you like it….have it!”
We can also expect to see lots of SPOTS and DOTS on things! GREAT (NOT)….back to the RETRO look again!
Kitchen Cabinetry…high-gloss surfaces will stay strong. As will the clean, square edge contemporary look.
Timber veneer is set to make a huge come back! Again the colours for this space will could be chocolate reds, to smoky brown and ….wait for it…my favourite colour….
Soft Olive Green!
Bathrooms…..

Also 2008 is big for water-efficiency, as you all know!
For all those wanting to see where I got my info from…..it’s a fairly new Home Magazine called “My Home” on sale at all new agencies and worth a look.
Finally…..to all my clients from 6 or 7 years ago……your colour schemes are now back in fashion!!!!
I will add to this post when I get more info.
REMEMBER …I am not the guru…I take and receive all my input from the experts.
ENJOY!
