Color palettes are like
taste buds, only much more
permanent – which is why designing
a home is sometimes a task that
engenders both anxiety and optimism.
“Gray has been the new neutral
for over a year,” explained Kimberly
Tall, interior designer for Aiden Fabrics. “The accent colors
people are opting for tend
toward teal, burnt orange,
lipstick red or salmon colors.”
Tall, whose design career was launched in California,
noted the differences between the two coasts.
“California is more eclectic and earthy, with a little
bit more edge. Also, design choices tend to change more
often,” she explained. “The East Coast, especially in
Charleston, sticks with a traditional foundation mixed
with chic and beach.”
People tend to stay with what reflects their personalities,
according to Tall.
