Capel Color Trends: Classic Black and Whites Are Back

By Home Furnishings Business in on February 2007 Home furnishings colors will turn to classic, reliable black and white patterns in the coming months, especially in home accents, to provide striking contrasts in interiors.

That’s the prediction from the latest Color & Trend Report from Capel Rugs, which came out Tuesday.

“Black and white motifs will range in character from the elegance of ‘Old Hollywood’ to the pop sensibilities of ‘80s New Wave when mixed with punches of golden yellows and Chinese red,” said Lou Webster, director of product development and design at Capel Rugs. “For an even more dramatic effect, rich textures will add ever greater emphasis to more casual black and white patterns and designs.”

With just a splash of color, dark hand tufts provide perfect accents to contemporary settings, and hand knotted rugs, with their luxurious texturing, work in both casual and formal settings, Webster said.
