Perfect Pairings Guide

Each year, the Pantone Color Institute, the world’s authority on color standards, introduces a color landscape reflective of cultural moods and fashion trends. This annual trend forecasting is embraced by interior designers and architects, as it offers consumers the chance to refresh their interiors by changing up their home décor and wall colors. Caesarstone surface colors and each year’s trending colors work in unison to bring a room together without losing its timeless appeal.

This year’s palette mixes bright and vivid colors with earthy tones.

To help you find inspiration for a color strategy that fits your unique style, Caesarstone has teamed up with color expert Kate Smith to show you how trending colors are expanding into home interiors and how they coordinate with our most popular surface colors to re-energize the home.

Create a stunning tonal or contrasting scheme with the help of this Caesarstone Perfect Pairings Guide.

Color can influence human emotions. It can lighten your mood, affect your health, improve your concentration, or help with productivity. It plays an integral role in interior design. Color is the easiest way to communicate your story and to infuse personality into your home’s interior.

The concept of color in interior design is re-emerging in a big way. Bold, beautiful tones paired with neutral bases are replacing bright white spaces. Black, grey and white kitchens are getting a luxurious upgrade with a synthesis of colors.

One trend that has staying power is the timeless classic of the pairing of neutral colors with bold, bright colors and earthy tones. Part of the allure of neutral colors like white, beige, grey and black is their quiet charisma when paired with different colors, textures, fabrics and surfaces.

From subtle tones and veining to more active variations, there is a Caesarstone surface to fit your personal design style.

Like a little black dress, a black kitchen is a solid base that works with accessories to express your design personality. It can be masculine, playful or revival depending on how you choose to accessorize.
