Colour trends
By knowing which colours are coming into trend you can be a step ahead of your customers – they will become swayed by magazines and catalogues into buying into the new seasons colours and could even end up changing their kitchens, sofa, bed linen & clothes to the hottest new colours in town!! I’m loving the ice-cream colours – a bit retro, not too soft like pastels and not too bright..
