BERRY BRIGHT!

Did you know? Boysenberry is the most important
new interior design color!

image

No matter how you spell it – boysenberry or boyz-n-berry or boys-and-berry, this vibrant color is off-the-charts right now, in what's new and fashionable in interior design!

image

 You’ll be seeing a lot of it soon, and you might just want to add some boysenberry accents to your home environment.

image

…According to the Color Marketing Group. 

Boysenberry is a purple shade, with a hint of red, and it looks as delicious as it sounds. Experts tell us that purple hues (like boysenberry) communicate good judgment, so it's probably a smart move to add some to your house this fall!


It’s also said that purple can provide peace of mind and a sense of calm. And, of course, purple is considered the color of royalty, so it exudes sophistication and luxury.

Even though boysenberry is bold, it can be the focal color in a room and not be overbearing. It’s also beautiful in combination with a variety of other hues. Best of all, it doesn’t clash with many colors. Try it:
• With black to create a warm and cozy look
• With cream or gold to look positively royal
• With ivory for a bleached beach look
• With soft grey for a sublime, sophisticated color scheme
• With acid green or lime green, for an touch of drama
• With emerald green and soft brown to construct a garden palette

Try adding boysenberry to your interior home scene. We think you’ll like it berry much!
