Marsala: Pantone's Color of 2015

Marsala is a reddish-brown hue, a cherry-chocolate that “has an organic and sophisticated air” according to Pantone’s Executive Director, Leatrice Eisman. Its earthy tones are fresh and evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and family- qualities we love to embody in our home design! Marsala is exotic as well as homey, taking you from the markets of India to the autumnal mountains of Maine. During these long, cold winter months, couldn’t we all use a color that “will warm the temperature of any space just by adding a few accent pieces?”

In a year when many of us have confessed to wanting ways to nourish our bodies and minds, Marsala is just the color we need!

Transforming a Living Room with Color

Perry's Furniture in Belfast Maine Marsala Living Room Vignette 14To demonstrate the warmth and impact of this color in interior design, our experienced home design team put together this contemporary, cottage living room vignette. It demonstrates the versatility of Marsala to be paired with many different colors and home decor accents. Marsala pairs well with so many exciting hues including: teal, cobalt blue, gray, and neutrals such as tan, beige, and taupe. Macy’s Fashion Director, Nicole Fischelis, loves to see Marsala paired with purple, pale blues, and peridot green.

 

As the centerpieces of this warm and inviting living space, our home design team chose a sofa and chair from Flexsteel’s Lenox collection in Marsala. Known for qualityPerry's Furniture in Belfast Maine Marsala Living Room Vignette 12 construction, luxurious upholsteries, and long lasting furniture, Flexsteel was a natural choice to display Marsala’s trendy yet timeless look. The Lenox collection has clean, refined style with beautifully curved arms and slightly tapered wooden legs. Both the sofa and chair feature a blue-ribbon spring unit, loose pillow back cushions, reversible plush seat cushions, and cushion ledge construction to keep the back cushions from sliding behind the seat cushions. While we love trending colors and interior home décor ideas, quality craftsmanship and enduring construction are the elements of design that comprise the foundation of lasting interior home design.

Rustic, wooden accent furniture provides a relaxed, cottage feel in contrast to the contemporary, tailored look of the Lenox sofa and chair. Our home design specialists chose a round cocktail table on casters, a chairside table in weathered oak, a unique accent table with painted metal legs, and a quirky boat shaped bookcase in rustic mahogany to demonstrate the versatility and fun that can be had with Pantone’s color of 2015, Marsala!

The round cocktail table, also by Flexsteel furniture, from the Las Cruces collection draws inspiration from the Arts & Crafts movement. Las Cruces represents today’s interpretation of authentic craftsman furniture with mortise and tenon joinery and vintage mission oak, hearkening back to the days of Gustav Stickley. Las Cruces is comprised of ash solids with mission oak veneers in a richPerry's Furniture in Belfast, Maine Marsala Living Room Vignette 13 henna color with burnishing and artful rasping and hand distressing that compliments the warm tones of Marsala perfectly.

For beauty and function, an accent table is placed next to each sitting area. To complement the Lenox chair in Marsala, our home design specialist placed next to it a chairside table from Flexsteel’s Newberry collection. Its weathered oak finish creates a rich and rustic appearance. Forged iron accents on the legs of the chairside table add a subtle textured touch to this inviting living space. The accent table next to the Lenox sofa in Marsala has a fun and playful, flower-shaped top supported by elegant, curved legs painted a lightly weathered teal blue. The color choice of this decorative yet practical table is an undeniable compliment to Marsala.
