Color Trend:For 2012- Mood Indigo

 

Color is going in new directions this year. Rich and deep hues are beginning to gain interest, and indigo is at the top of the color trend list. Pantone recently announced that indigo is set to be a major shade in 2012. Not quite blue or purple, it can feel classic, modern and a little bit mysterious all at once. Here’s a look at four ways designers are already using this cool color in interiors.

Accent pieces are a great way to bring a dose of indigo home. This blue credenza commands attention in a neutral entryway.

Pops of electric indigo make a bold statement. In this bedroom, the color is woven throughout the wallpaper, lamps and even the stools.

Paired with on-trend gray, shades of indigo look cool and classic. A little goes a long way with these brightly colored cushions

And in a dark interior, indigo feels warm and inviting. I would love to have a set of chairs just like this!
Keep a look out for ways to weave this color into your interior. Indigo is definitely going to be a go-to shade in the coming months.
