The Shades of Style
The Color Trends of Outdoor Living
Every year there are
colors that spring up
everywhere. This
year is no exception.
On the following
pages we showcase
the colors that you
should incorporate
into your outdoor
living furniture.
Cilantro Green is a staple in
outdoor furniture – the
trend is to choose a
darker, slightly de-
saturated hue. Just like
the herb it’s named
after, Cilantro will add
a strong visual flavor
to your design.
Cilantro complements
many other colors,
whether you pair it
with a bold red or
subtle coffee color.
Buttercup
Over the past several
years red has really
been the go to warm
color, but this year we
are seeing yellow burst
to the center stage.
It can be used to add a
fun pop or to serve as a
valiant base. Mix it in
with a floral pattern or
in a global theme
pattern.
Mellow Purples
Purple has long stood for
luxury and sophistication, but
this year we are seeing the
relaxed, more approachable
variety. Lavender is the
perfect addition as a palate
cleanser – with so many bold
colors fighting for the
spotlight lavender can add a
calming hint of peace.
Brick A dark red with a tiny
hint of orange is
sticking around this
year. Brick was
designed to add
accents. Use this color
in pillows, candles, and
flowers.
Coffee Too much is too much.
It can be easy to get
carried away with all
the color we are seeing
this year. Coffee is a
great option to tame
ferocious and bright
colors. This neutral
color is anything but
boring, like its
namesake, Coffee is
strong and it never
goes out of style.
WhiteCrisp – Simple – Timeless.
White will help your new
colors stand out. Having
white in a pattern with
bright shades allows the
color to breathe a bit
more than if it were
presented as a solid.
The TrendsThis year mix your stripes,
florals, geometrics, and
global patterns. Find a textile
with the color combination
you like and build around it.
