Mauve is in full swing this decade with coordinating baby blues and grays. Taking cues from “Miami Vice,” the mid ‘80’s bring pastels to the forefront of home decor and design. From simple palettes to flashy patterns, the 1980’s celebrate the lighter, brighter side of color.

We’re celebrating our 150th anniversary by taking a look back at color throughout the decades. Loved the 1960s? So did we! Paisleys met geometrics, boldly marking the decade of peace, love and rock ‘n’ roll. Want to add  a bit of this bright, modern palette to your home? Try Navel SW 6887, Daisy SW 6910, Exuberant Pink SW 6840 and Forget Me Not SW 6824.
