When you hear the word “marsala,” you probably think of the rich wine often used for cooking. It’s much more than that, though — it’s also Pantone’s color of the year! For home decorators, this red-brown color is rich, sophisticated, and earthy. Marsala brings warmth and color to any room and is a versatile color for home design. Here at Value Blinds & Heirloom Draperies serving the Arlington VA area, our decorators can help find ways to incorporate Marsala into your home interior. Below are just a few ideas:
Blinds & Shades
Window treatments are a great way to incorporate Marsala into any room. As your local Hunter Douglas dealer, we offer a variety of window coverings that feature the hues of Marsala. Select from such products as Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Solera® Soft Shades, or Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.
Drapery & Valances
Marsala is a bold color that demands attention, and is beautiful as a top treatment or in pattern on custom flowing drapes. Solid colors make a defining statement, and a patterned fabric for your drapery can introduce a new color in a more subtle way. Marsala also works well on valances and top treatments, paired with most any blind or shade.
Custom Bedding
Custom bedding is a beautiful way to use Marsala in your bedroom design. Create a custom comforter, or design throw pillows and shams that bring the color in as a bright accent. Our designers can work with you to make this new color a bold part of your bedroom makeover, or introduce it in a more subtle way.
Home Decor Accents
You don’t have to go all out to incorporate Pantone’s color of the year into your room design. Use it as one of your accent colors with pillows, throws, rugs, artwork, and accessories. In a bedroom, Marsala works beautifully either in your bedding itself, or on extra pillows and hanging art.
Fabric Options
Marsala works on solid traditional fabric or in a patterned fabric, such as chintz or chenille. Corduroy is also making a comeback, and the boldness of this year’s color combined with the soft and cuddly corduroy feel may work perfectly in your home. Whether on a pillow, a couch, or chair, corduroy exudes comfort but looks just as vibrant in a formal room.
