Embrace understated luxury this March
The transitional period from winter to spring has officially begun. This time of year is simultaneously filled with optimism and volatility, with spring blossoms beginning to emerge amidst the final cold bursts of winter.
We may find ourselves turning to a more subdued color palette while we wait for warmer days, but that doesn’t mean we can inject it with a hint of luxury.
This month’s color is Aluminum
A soft shade of silver that doesn’t feel overpowering, aluminum offers a subtle glimmer when it catches the light. Like moonlight gently reflecting off water or the delicate sheen of a silver fox’s fur, it’s a cool neutral that is exceptionally adaptable and complementary with correlating colors.
Discover the soft side of metallics
While many metallics tend to have a reputation of being overly extravagant or flashy, aluminum showcases the soft side of these glossy hues. It has just enough luster to create an upscale feel while staying true to its calming light gray base hue. Ideal as an accent or primary shade, aluminum makes an excellent elevated neutral.
Find the silver lining with Aluminum
With its muted sheen and light tone, aluminum feels like anything but a heavy metal. It can be used to create a bright and airy environment for spring when paired with whites and pastels, especially with cooler tones like blue or green. Those who prefer more striking pops of color can incorporate vibrant accent colors like magenta or mustard, or create contrast with wood accents in deep tones.
Aluminum’s versatility works for almost any space, whether it’s a glamorous modern office interior or a minimally sleek Japandi home. It exudes contemporary elegance, pairing perfectly with luxe textures and clean silhouettes. No matter what design style you’re going for, you can count on aluminum to add a chic touch to the room.
Into the Deep
Our color of the month is a stunning neutral with just the right amount of shimmer. Fresh, bright, and luxurious, it makes a welcome addition to any spring design project. This March, let Aluminum be your shining beacon of sophistication.
