Holiday Trends

Written by Michelle Lamb
When the calendar turns to December, it’s impossible not to think about the Holidays. But at The Trend Curve™, we started thinking about the 2010 – 2011 Season in February of 2009. That’s when we put the latest version of our ‘Tis The Season™ color and trend forecast together. Here are a few highlights from that forecast:Eco-Luxe: Thinking green doesn’t stop for the Holidays, but it does get dressed up for the occasion. Warm metallics are preferred accents to colors like Frosted Evergreen and Potting Moss.Cooled Down Color: You can’t go wrong with polar blues, ranging from watery to near navy.Drama: Take your color deep and dark—but don’t limit yourself to red and green. Think sophistication and penthouse luxury for a trend we call Soireé Noir.Santa’s Helpers: A blizzard of cats and dogs will prance through the Season on Christmas trees, in pattern and as gifts.Let There Be Light: LED’s will light more pieces than ever.
