Trend to note: Native American Inspiration
Design is always a great way to express one’s cultural interests. No matter where you live it can always be fun to be inspired by different people and places. This color forecast takes a look at the culture of Native Americans and their bold color palette that’s inspired by their natural habitat.
The color palette associated with this culture is very vast, but is always recognizable. Bold colors like turquoise or orange are great accents to pair with more subdued natural tones. Bright colors placed near one another will help reflect this unique style. Purples, yellows and reds are all suitable colors as well because of their connection to nature.
Native American culture is very centered on symbolism and distinct patterns. Mixing and matching different patterns is an important element in achieving this very original style. Geometric and ikat designs (see pillows above) are probably some of the most recognizable patterns true to this culture. Incorporating some natural influences like that of wildlife or landscapes can also enhance the appeal of your space. Pick out a piece of art or an accessory that reflects these objects to fully incorporate this style.
So don’t be afraid to take inspiration from this historic and beautiful culture. After all, it is the month of Thanksgiving!
