We recently connected with designers Sarah Stacey and Killy Scheer who told us which shades they see dominating in the coming year—and why moody hues will be majorly trending. “We’ve found that smaller spaces, such as a closet or long hallway, can be a great place to test your moody palette without taking on too much,” she says. “I love a mix of deep blues and grays with a pop of red, green, and black.” “Try pairing red accents like dining chairs or smaller accent pieces with neutrals to bring more of an emphasis to the color,” she says. “Jewel tones are also in. I love mixing jewel tones with spicier colors like burnt orange for an unexpected color-blocked look.” If you’re not into red, Scheer has a solid alternative. “Aubergine is a big color this year, and I think it would make for a beautiful alternative to red,” she says. “Pair it with creams and greens for an unexpected yet still traditional-leaning combination.” “Moody colors can work really well with vintage and unique accessories," she says. “You can really play around with some more eclectic pieces.” “The mix of neutral wood and matte black details looks great with a moody palette,” Stacey says. “We’ve noticed an increase in these earthy and organic elements for the home. The kitchen and bathroom can be great places to implement these shades without your whole home feeling too overwhelming in darker tones.”
