Keeping your space up-to-date on current trends in the industry is vital in maintaining many design themes.  In the ever-evolving industry of design, it is essential to know what is trending and what is fading out of popularity.  These changes can be subtle, and they can transform slowly over time or dramatically change overnight.  Paying attention to trends, colors, and fashion is imperative in residential and commercial designs.  While every year different colors will become more pronounced in marketing and design, you will find that incorporating these in your themes, especially in commercial design, will help keep you ahead of the curb and proactive on staying in touch with your market.  Outdated businesses can not only harm your first impression with customers but also directly affects your employee’s morale.  To help, we are going to share the most trending colors of the year 2019, which can help keep your atmosphere up-to-date.

Fifty Shades

To kickstart the list, we wanted to start with the strongest neutral color of this year: gray.  Gray is the newest trending neutral color.  Where in the past it would be more common to choose beige and tan tones, now when designing a space neutrally, gray has made a strong impression on homeowners and has been taking over the market.  

Gray is phenomenal because it is on each end of the spectrum and has two of the most powerful contrasting colors: black and white.  Black is great for creating visual depth in a room.  It also will allow other colors to have a sharp contrast and creates a stunning depth effect when used on walls or flooring.  White, on the other hand, has the power to open a space and create a more airy, free-flowing atmosphere.  White can allow light to travel through the room more freely and makes an incredible choice as a neutral tone.  Using gray tones throughout a monochromatic black and white themed space creates a sense of balance and allows the colors to have a sense of unity while still giving them their strengths to pop!
