Hot Colors For the Home in 2008
This year it is all about green and blue. The Marie Antoinette rich jewel colors of the last several years are over. The slow down in the economy is promoting feelings of austerity, and a need for comfort and security in the home. Thus, look to the earth tones, greens, and blues for common areas in the home, such as, the kitchen and living room. The young children’s rooms still need to be fun with the popsicle and candy colors. Sunny yellows and comfortable sage are still good choices for the master suite. And for goodness sakes stop using Swiss coffee.

So I can throw away all the cans of Swiss coffee in my garage? I like your suggestions, but can you elaborate? How about trim, is white still the way to go? Please advise. Will keep checking to see what you have to say.

Marie,
Do not throw out those cans of Swiss coffee, if they are semi gloss you can use them on the trim mouldings with earthtone wall colors. If it is wall flat; yes, you can loose them. However, please take them to your local recycling center or hazardous waste center.
White, or whisper white is still the most appropriate color for trim mouldings.

A thank you to Dee Dee for reminding me of the importance of blue this year. In my haste to publish I forgot to point out blue as a hot color for this year. My post has now been corrected.
