What colour should you choose for your sofa by following the trends of 2019

10/26/2018

If this year, the real “must” has been “Ultraviolet”, experts say that the trends for 2019 will be 72 colours chosen by the Pantone Color Institute, destined to take over the world of home decor and interiors over the next few months.

The trend for a mix of styles is still with us, combining innovative trends with classical elements and “gold” materials... lamps, mirrors, taps and accessories. Glass, as we have said in the article, is still the obvious protagonist of your interiors, as long as you choose modern prints, serigraphs, pleated solutions and tempered glass, but not simple and clear lines.
