In the world of home furnishings, words such as "extravagant" and "shock value" have been replaced by "real" and "comforting." The palettes for 2003 show a decided movement to home as haven and a calming of color, resulting in many more light, midtone and deepened shades. While three of the groupings sparkle with some vibrancy, they are often set against a background of more restrained neutral and/or classic colors.
With many Americans seeking a sense of connection to each other as well as to the past, many will feel comforted by a palette that suggests linkage, steeped in heritage and history, a literal patchwork of traditional colors. Styles may vary from classic to country, but the colors remain true to traditional, including deepened blues and denim blues, hunter greens, garnet reds, winter whites and warm, welcoming golden yellows.
