March 2009
Color is a telling barometer of the social climate.
And, according to the color experts at Benjamin Moore, the predominant colors for 2009 are telling that there's a craving for simplicity in lives as one searches for refuge from the rough and stormy economy.
"There's clearly a trend for homes to be simpler, pared down and offering relief from the pressures and anxieties of the outside world, " said Eileen McComb, Benjamin Moore's director of communications.
"And, of course, paint is the perfect solution for simplifying a decorating makeover."
"Not only is a new coat of color able to provide quick and uplifting results, it's one of the most economical ways to refresh and redecorate."
Another pervasive trend, according to McComb, is the desire to put a personal imprint on one's space.
"People are seeking to put their own style signature on their homes."
"They value the opportunity to customize and individualize a look."
