2009 Interior Color Trends “Mimosa” For Your Kitchen And Family Room

What will be the 2009 trend color? Do you have an idea? Now someone will tell you a bright summer fun yellow color ”Mimosa” is coming!

“It’s the one universal color that the color authority believes best sums up the hue that will define our feelings and desires for a fresh new year. 

So as we leave 2008 and ‘Blue Iris’ in our wake ( but don’t despair blue- we will still continue to love thee) we welcome in ‘Mimosa’:
“The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”

Yellow is a very happy color and can lift our spirits but you may think this color is too strong for the walls of your home but you can see how wonderful these walls look with a similar color.  This picture illustrates Sunny Lunch Inspired by Nature by  Whitney Robinson from House Beautiful.

Here’s another image from House Beautiful.  The article and photo gallery for Furniture Now – The Modern Mix by Heather Macisaac showcase a New York apartment that has several rooms with bold yellow walls.

If you would like to use yellow but don’t want to go with such a bold color you could consider a color like Benjamin Moore’s Straw, which is a softer yellow tone.

Or bring the color in with accessories and accent pieces. Here are a few lovely ideas for accents from my favorite source for French County Pierre Deux.

When you take down the holiday decorations you can start the New Year with positive energy and cheer by adding a bit of yellow to your home.
