Inside Our Newest Trend Report

“We’re in a renaissance of color,” says AD100 designer Rayman Boozer. From bathroom fixtures sprouting up in shades of grass green to daring hues on floors, ceilings, and accessories, it’s a color lover’s moment. So there’s no better time for AD PRO’s Color Trend Report, which is overflowing with ideas, advice, and inspiration for you to embed in your next big project. In this new member-only report presented by Kohler, we investigate the rise of “earthbound” hues like oxblood and chocolate brown, the ins and outs of working with a custom colorist, the everlasting appeal of black-and-white interiors, the shades trending across kitchen and bath, and the behind-the-scenes of picking the Color of the Year. And if you missed yesterday’s panel with Rayman Boozer, Zoe Feldman, and Rodman Primack, or just want to revisit their great advice, good news: a recording is available in the report.
