Color and pattern play pivotal roles in interior design, shaping the visual and physical optics of a room. Colors can evoke various emotions and set the tone for a room with warm tones like reds and oranges creating a cozy, intimate feel. Cooler tones in blues and greens impart a sense of calm and tranquility. Patterns, on the other hand, add depth and visual interest, whether through geometric tessellations, elaborate linear motifs or classic stripes. They can be used to highlight architectural features, create focal points or tie together different elements within a room. Together, color and pattern can transform a space and effortlessly reflect the personality and style of its inhabitants.
A significant shift in chromatic decoration has made its way to kitchens this year. Homeowners and designers alike are shifting from the neutral colorway that has dominated in recent years and are gravitating towards bold hues reminiscent of the very spices they cook with. Shades inspired by cayenne, ginger, mustard and paprika not only inject flavor into the heart of the home, but establish a warm and welcoming environment. Häcker Kitchens has expanded its catalog, now offering cabinetry in over 2,100 shades, for total kitchen customization.

Renowned for its timeless appeal, the color blue has witnessed a revival in recent years. While this hue was used as an accent when the biophilic movement first emerges, all shades of blues have earned a main character moment. Renowned for their calming qualities, tones like navy, teals, periwinkles and aquas are being utilized as primary base and the focal point of a room. Lofra answers the call for blue with the introduction of the Maestro Collection in this richly-hued blue.
When color and pattern combine to create a show-stopping relief, the result is magnetic.
