Spring brings us new anticipation and a positive outlook for the year ahead. For us at the shop, it brings us a welcome change from the Christmas/Winter items we have been looking at since November! We look forward to changing out heavily glittered and flocked florals for fresh pops of color and wispy greens. No more snowmen and santas, and instead, we fill the store with songbirds and succulents. This year's Spring Collections are just the breath of fresh air we need after a long 12 months of 2020. Check out our Collections below and comment which one you are most looking forward to seeing!

Our Spring Collections will be arriving to Blue Dahlia Designs on Tuesday, February 9th. Check them out in store or online at www.bluedahliadesigns.net!

Boho Botanicals combines the uplifting shades of coral and mauve with woodgrain and woven textures. White ceramics mix well with mirrored accents and cozy textiles.

Terracotta Skies brings summer sunsets to life. Warm copper and rust tones mixed with cool cobalt and midnight blue. 

Change things up with our Global Inspiration Collection. Mixed metals, vibrant colors, and textural elements create this worldly feel.

Contemporary takes an earthy twist with our Urban Conservatory Collection. Hammered Pewter and black succulents mix with pops of sage and olive in this updated look.

​With the stroke of midnight on December 31st turning the clocks to 2021, the sighs of many who hope for a better, brighter year echoed throughout the world. Many people are optimistic that this new year will hopefully bring an end to a year that no one will forget. When it came time for the trendsetters to predict the coming year's fashion, design, color palettes, and trends for the new year, they agreed that uplifting, yet soothing themes would be the right balance for this year.
The 2021 paint colors of the year reflect that trend of tranquil relaxation for the home where everyone is spending more time, turning our homes into a haven. In combination with that trend is the need for energizing and refreshing spaces that rejuvenate the homeowner as they enter the new year with fresh hopes and dreams.
This year’s color palettes do not disappoint.
Pantone’s color of the year is actually two colors- Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. They wanted the combination to echo the soothing, yet invigorating vibe to bring a new perception for 2021. We are loving this combo together! It brings just a touch of energy without going over the top!

You can see from the following pictures what an outstanding color combination this is and just how it sings! 

The ​Sherwin Williams color of the year, Urban Bronze is a beautiful, sophisticated color that updates any style. Its moody vibe enhances any color combinations and any style.

Sherwin Williams also adds four additional palettes for the year: Sanctuary, Encounter, Continuum, and Tapestry- each one offering a blend of unique colors that focus on soothing and uplifting ambiance.

Sanctuary and Encounter’s palettes are muted colors that bring in the tranquil tones of nature.

​Sherwin Williams' Continuum and Tapestry palettes offer more pastels and well as saturated colors that are relaxing, yet also revitalizing. Here are a few of our choices with those palettes.

​Benjamin Moore’s beautiful color of the year, Aegean Teal 2136-40, is perfect for a calming, yet dynamic room! It reminds us of a soothing ocean! 

​Benjamin Moore also has a color palette for the year. Their mixture of relaxing and invigorating colors is meant to inspire beautiful spaces in your home. The following are our choices of their amazing color combos.

​PPG Paints' color palette of the year is three-fold. This palette, which includes Transcend, Big Cypress, and Misty Aqua, creates a nurturing, comforting space that really resonates with us. We like the calming with a punch combo they use by mixing warm tones with that punch of cool.

​PPG includes a coordinating palette to those three colors that resonates with us. We love their color choices!

​Behr’s color palette consists of 21 richly diverse colors, ranging from sweet pastels to saturated hues, creating a palette that makes it difficult to choose our favorites from Seaside Villa, Canyon Dusk, to Euphoric Magenta. Choose we did, and here are a few of those colors.

​As you can see, it was an exceedingly difficult job picking our favorites out of so many color choices! All the companies did an amazing job in their selection of 2021 colors. They all represent an oasis for the home that allows nurturing, calming yet energizing vibes. These new refreshing hues will usher us out of a very tiring and anxious year into a more hopeful and exciting new year!
