February is the month we’re ready to come out of hibernation and start thinking about how to freshen up our spaces. We find great inspiration in color trend reports from experts such as Pantone, Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. This year’s color trends are especially beautiful. These color trends work well inside and out, so whether you’re thinking about how to refresh your outdoor space or what textiles and finish to choose for your new Vintage Porch Swings hanging bed swing, we hope they inspire you: Grays, Whites and Neutrals Most of our customers choose a neutral mattress cover so they can switch out accent pillows with the season. Layered whites and neutrals work so well with a hanging bed swing. The color scheme only enhances the feeling of luxury, calm, and relaxation. We suggest a mattress cover in sand, grey or beige – and something with a little texture. Then choose white throw pillows and a creamy throw blanket. Black and White There’s nothing more timeless than a black and white color scheme. Your neutral mattress will still work – just add black and white patterned throw pillows, and don’t be shy about adding in shades of gray. High Contrast Whether you gravitate toward lavender and yellow, aqua and orange, or chartruese with soft pink, you can’t go wrong with high contrast color scheme. Add in crisp white accents to keep it sophisticated. Organic materials Decorating with an organic color palette is something Charlestonians know how to do well. Look around you for inspiration; sandy beiges, oyster whites, marsh greens, hibiscus reds and sky blue or indigo are all right on trend this year. Hibernating is fun, but we’re looking forward to warmer weather and spending more time outside on our own bed swings.
