Color trends for 2021
Illuminating Yellow & Ultimate Gray are Colors of the Year!
Aren’t you ready to kiss 2020 goodbye and embrace 2021? It certainly has been a challenging year for everyone. We don’t know what this new year will bring, but we’re ready for a change. With all the pressing uncertainty and unanswered questions, why should we concern ourselves with color trends right now? Because color reflects our mood. By changing the color around us, we can change our mood. We need comfort and hope. We need the soft, solid colors of familiarity – the caring, ‘we are all in this together,’ dependable color. We also need the happy colors of optimism that promise better things to come in the year ahead.
Many companies make predictions about color trends, but this year their forecasts all have one thing in common: solid, soft neutrals paired with bold accents. The palettes are filled with comfort colors to promote a sense of calm and wellness.

Craftsmanship, comfort & durability is key for 2021. Look for furniture, fabrics, and accessories that will last, that are made with sustainable products, and that can be passed down through the generations. We have always prided ourselves on the quality of our frame mouldings so you can enjoy your framing for a lifetime.
