Imagine for a moment that it’s a Saturday morning and you have absolutely nothing planned for the day.  You have the newest book by your favorite author on the coffee table next to you.  The morning is quiet.  You’re lounging on a soft muted pink chaise surrounded by smooth natural linen pillows in subdued greys and purples.  The day promises to be enchanting.

The Enchanted trend is soft romanticism come to life.  It’s all about surrounding yourself in graceful, mellow fabrics and colors and keeping a subtle simplicity to your overall design.  It’s mixing old world style with the clean lines of modern design to create a retreat filled with the promise of stolen peaceful moments.

Colors

Roses are red.  And pink. And white, too.  The Enchanted trend brings faded rouge, smoky pinks and even dusky parchment whites into play. These reds, pinks and whites have a demure feminine mystique combined with the warmth and masculine strength of darker undertones. Keep away from delicate pastels and instead reach for colors with deeper bases.

Purple rain. From a deep luxurious wine to a delicate plum all the way to a complex lilac, use purples with wild abandon in your Enchanted designs. The purples complement the reds and pink and add in a playful touch.

Grey matter. Keep your design grounded with slate and ash. Greys act as a solid neutral background palette and can even come into play in accent pieces.

Textures

Soft natural linens, delicate chenilles and deep-pile carpets are the hallmark of the enchanted trend.  Be sure to counterbalance smooth fabrics with deliciously fuzzy counterparts.  Shy away from roughness in the enchanted trend but do keep things lively with enticing downy textures.

Inspiration 

How does it make you feel? The Enchanting trend is comfortable and reassuring. Incorporating Enchanted elements into your home design can catapult you back to childhood play as a princess in a high castle. It is both frolicsome and subdued at the same time. 

Keep quiet simplicity at the forefront.  And fondly reminisce about some enchanted evening, when you found your true love. Or create a place to dream about it. In the end, that’s what it’s all about anyway, isn’t it?  Enchanted evenings...
