A new year, and a new attitude, has been officially declared! Pantone has chosen Tangerine Tango to represent 2012. For almost fifty years, industry leaders have relied on the authority to forecast our color culture. Spring lines, within the fashion and cosmetics industry, will boldly introduce this enthusiastic color. The interior design trade has fearlessly embraced the haute hue! Pantone insists the featured shade “provides the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.”
REINVENTED COLOR PALETTE FOR 2012
January
26
Light wood finishes, chairs upholstered in vintage grain sacks and dark leather in the central seating area contrast with pastel pillows and custom finished armoires at A. Hooper & Co., a Fort Worth fashion boutique, designed by Gibson Gimpel Interior Design. Farrow and Ball "Elephant's Breath" wall and ceiling color creates a soft ground to showcase the colorful spring fashion on display.
The New Year offers an opportunity to breathe new life into tired spaces. With trends toward lighter and softer palettes on the rise, designers are invigorating this new look by pairing these soft palettes with modern, saturated, bright colors. From the 2012 Spring Fashion Runway shows, to fabrics and paint colors, inspiration can be found in novel and unexpected color combinations. High contrast natural tones and textures mix with industrial materials and finishes to add drama to the design.
Sanding it Down: Architectural Finishing Talks Wood

Most will agree that the use of wood products in a design scheme is a good thing, no matter how our style preferences and our building trends are affected by modern times. Whether our taste in furniture or architecture leans toward contemporary or traditional, we will keep a special place in our plans for the look of natural wood. Many homeowners enjoy a delightful blend of stained cabinets, exposed beams, wood furniture, and floors inside their homes. Here is a professional look, through the perspective of Design Guide Expert John Lanford of Architectural Finishing, at the components of wood finishing, which may help you with the understanding and lingo of this varying subject.
