It is a wonderful thing that such classic and vibrant prints are making a comeback! Finally some visual texture. While this has been a rising trend in recent years it is evident that classic prints with new color trends are making their way to everyday accessories. Some of my favorites include the following from Kathy Ireland’s new collections.

Floral Batik is a classic and historic print with a current twist in color trends. The tropical greens and shades of pink are some of the latest 2010 inspired colors (more on 2010 color trends to come on Color Trend Tuesdays in January).

Another historic and classic print, the Indian Marrakesch with current trendy colors infused into the design. Notice once again the variation of turquoise is seen in this chair. Turquoise, according to Pantone, is the color of the year for 2010.  New color trends for 2010 are taking us to the tropics!

Speaking of turquoise, it is also found in another classic Art Nouveau print called Cattle Kate from the Wallpaper Collective. I simply adore this print and only wish I had a place to use this wallpaper in my own home!

Gray is still considered a current color trend, however, you will find the “new” gray is a warmer tone versus the cooler variations we have seen in the recent past. A classic botanical has a new life on a larger scale, a hint of metallic, and a monochromatic color scheme in the  Flora Slate Wallpaper from The Wallpaper Collective.

I was inspired to take a closer look at “Pretty Prints” highlighted in the current issue of Lonnymag. The more I browsed the prints and recommended online shopping sites the more I realized the new color trends were applied to these lovely classic prints. I can’t wait use one of these as inspiration for an entire space!

See you again on Color Trend Tuesday next month!
