Never a backdrop, Raspberry Blush is the definition of charismatic color. This unapologetic shade of red orange had us thinking: bold, bolder, boldest. This sentiment flows through the rest of the palette as we immerse ourselves in hues that make a statement. Inspired by an artist’s desire to communicate through color, shape, and sound, Color Trends 2023 was built to envelop you in vivacious color.
To commemorate this year’s selection, Benjamin Moore partnered with electro-funk duo Chromeo to underscore the upbeat and optimistic tone of the palette and the dynamic role color plays in self-expression—much like music.
In 1961, New York interior designer Robin Roberts founded Clarence House on the premise that uncompromising artistry and forward-thinking technology could combine together to make magic. Originally, he imported fabrics from Europe that had never been seen in America. But eventually, Clarence House became involved in every aspect of the creative process, with its own design studio, close relationships with European mills and textile archives, and a dedicated in-house art director, Kazumi Yoshida.
Today, Clarence House has become one of the foremost style setters in the decorative fabric industry, helping to achieve the vision of top-tier interior designers, and providing the furnishing fabrics for pre-eminent museums and countless historic houses. Known for its hand-screen printing of fabrics and wallpapers rendered in high-style textures and fearless color palettes, Clarence House boasts a decidedly European and timeless feel.
We have always loved CH fabrics, and fell in love with the new Clarence House fabrics at a local spring table top exhibit for the trade. This is a good option for you if you want to transfer home to family, you can contact them and they will help you by doing the interior remodelation design and decoration, for a transfer home you just have to know that it may involve some legal considerations. For example, a transfer could be considered a gift, and gift taxes may apply. There may also be capital gains implications when transferring real property. It’s best to consult a lawyer or financial advisor before taking any action.
CH textiles are tops in the industry and available through Interior Design Professionals only. The beige and brown antelope velvet as well as the colorful geometric velvet are modern bold patterns. The chain stitched fabric would be fabulous upholstered on a club chair.
Plain walls are out and floral wallpapers are thankfully in style again! The colors have been updated on traditional motifs and many of the patterns are modernized. I’ve always loved wallpaper in kitchens and bathrooms. You can even purchase a floral pattern printed on grass cloth now. Blues are always popular choices, Greens and Yellows are hot now. Shown below are Brunschwig & Fils Kashmiri in Leaf Alo, Bramalta Feodora Mini in Blue Fushia Yellow, Quadrille Sigourney Reverse in Jungle Green, Schumacher Marigold in Yellow, and Clarence House Arbre De Vie in Coral Lettuce.

This subtle color is good for both interiors and exteriors. We call it a grayish green and believe it works well on walls as well as cabinetry. The hint of gray makes it a neutral green and invites the outdoors inside. Contact us for a Color Consult or Interior Design assistance.
Majolica is a kind of earthenware made in imitation of Italian maiolica, especially in England during the 19th century. The lead glazes are bright and cheerful, lending themselves to the perfect accessory for residential interiors. Herbert Minton’s creative 3-dimensional designs contrasted the drab houseware widely used in middle-class homes at the time. The fact that it was also affordable made this earthenware all the more appealing. Other countries followed suit, however, the English majolica remains the most collectable.
