ELISABETTA
Looking for an update about the latest color trends in
interiors and design?
Due to its international acclaim, Milan Design Week is the best event where to spot the latest news and
trends in interior and design.

We spent the whole week in Milan for the design week of April 2018, visiting all the top locations and the
Salone fair (we even published an eBook about Milan Design Week 2018) and we are ready to give you
now a roundup of the top colors that will rock next year in interiors and design.

Talking about the main color trends for 2019 spotted at Milan Design Week 2018, there were two main
trends in my opinion to note this year: first one is the wide using of bold colors, most of all primary hues
such as bold yellow, reds and bold blues. Second one is the comeback of pastel colors, to be used instead
of neutrals and of white., or in beautiful color combinations such as gradients and rainbow patterns.
 More in details, the top colors for 2019 spotted at Milan
Design Week 2018 are:
I. Gen-Z yellow: a vivid yellow that was one of the main colors of several settings in Milan, starting from
Vitra Typecasting to Mindcraft, to name a few.

|| You can already read more about this color trend in my post THE NEW DECOR TRENDS YOU

WILL SEE EVERYWHERE THIS 2018 SPRING AND SUMMER

I. International klein blue: a deep and bold hue of blue, an everlasting color which this year was really
popular in several new designs presented at Milan Design Week (see gallery below)
II. Mango: a new color spotted this year in several settings (for example, tehre was a beautiful corner by Vitra
in this color). It is a bright and warm hue of orange
III. Red: this was another protagonist of this edition of Milan Design Week. From the bold primary red, to
darker reds to burgundy

Talking then about pastel hues, referring to a neo-retro mood, they included:
I. Millennial pink: still here and almost everywhere in Milan, but as it was really too much about pink I’m
quite sure it already had its moment this year. Much more interesting than pink, very soft hues of nude and
peach, chosen by several designers in Milan in place of total white and neutrals
II. Light green: also defined neo-mint , looks that this pastel hue of green will be the top trending color for
2020

|| Remember I already forecasted about neo-mint in this post THE NEW GREENS ?

What about the Pantone 2018 ultraviolet?

That was used just in a few spots, but that were quite interesting ones (such as the Gufram installation,
the Dimorestudio Limited edition launch, the Moroso stand at Salone) to make me think we are going to
see again more violets. Maybe not exactly the ultra violet one, but lilac and fucsia for sure.

Enjoy now our gallery of the color trends for 2019 as seen

 LAST YEAR REPORT
interior color trends 2018 from Milan Design
Week 2017
Everybody noticed that this Milan Design Week 2017 was all about color.

Today, however, I’m doing a roundup of the interior color trends for 2018, starting from what I saw in
Milan, of those new hues I think will be very cool for the upcoming months.

The big trend is to go more and more towards bright and strong shades. This return to color goes
together with a return to the Eighties and its strong design and colour (…). here my notes:
I. In Milan here was pink everywhere, as already noticed in Maison et Objet here, especially in the barbie-like
pink and in the “millennial pink“.
II. Primary colors come back, especially red, the yellow (yes the Minion one), the blue (the klein blue).
III. Then there are all the warm and earthy tones I already talked about here, but becoming brighter:
from orange, a color I personally dislike but that I’ve seen a lot and that was incorporated in really nice
ways ; burgundy red, that reminds me about Pantone Marsala – color of the year 2015.
IV. Loved the violet and dark turquoise match, which I have noticed several times: looks like we will see a lot
of violet&purple in next times, right? [ indeed, several months later than this post Pantone announced
then Color of the Year 2018 Ultra Violet ]
V. Lots of green as well, although the trend is to go from the dark and desaturated shades that we’ve seen a lot
last year (remember here?) to more natural and vitaminic hues: there was no Pantone 2017 Greenery in
Milan, but new interesting shades of sage, celery and avocado greens. Love them!
