COLOR TRENDS
Norwalk identifies emerging textile trends to share these inspired themes with you.
Shades of Camel and Caramel have been a home furnishing rising trend for several years. For Fall 2022, Norwalk Furniture introduces a menswear element into this rich color family. By adding classic wool plaids and tartan fabric patterns, and accenting the secondary colorways with luxe grey flannel and gingerbread browns, the whole collection takes on a warm, earthy, and familiar vibe. Think “Ralph” and “Polo” and you’ll understand why this trend story is at once fresh, yet comfortably familiar.


We are all familiar with the hues of Spa Blue, and Sea Green, but for Fall 2022, Norwalk Furniture combines these hues into a spa-green collection of fabrics that are conspicuously restful and serene. Soft verdant color tones and organic shaped fabric patterns merge in a tranquil mix that features celadon, shagreen, and chive greens. They are accented with robin’s egg and Tiffany blue coordinates, and grounded with dove grey, for a color story that is decidedly restful and calming.




For many years the classic Navy/White color combination has been an American favorite. For Fall 2022 Norwalk Furniture updates this look with accents of black and leather complements. The inclusion of midnight indigo design elements offset the white background colors in a very dramatic way. And they give the look a dramatic and rich atmosphere. Cobalt and sapphire leathers, and fabrics that feature graphic vanilla lines, add energy and movement to this undated timeless aesthetic.


Many a tasty meal features wild caught salmon. It’s rich texture and rosy-pink ink color is a feast for the eyes and taste buds. For Fall 2022 Norwalk Furniture features a collection of multiple fabrics that explore the nuanced shades of salmon, peach, and coral. Ranging from a shell pink to a mid-toned apricot, the collection utilizes unexpected accent colors of wheat and honey to deepen the pallet and warm the vignettes. The collection includes varied linen, chenille, velvet, and boucle fabric textures. This color story would be a perfect complement to Sherwin William’s just announced color of the year, Redend Blush.


Earthy shades of clay have been on trend for several years at this point, and the complementary accent colors of blue, russet, and sage have been well explored within the furniture industry. For 2022 we feel that the clays are a bit less red or brown, but rather they tend toward yam, ginger, and cinnamon shades, with a soft rosy undertone. These colors are beautifully mixed with nut toned leathers and they combine for a decidedly tranquil colorway that’s evocative of desert and arid environments.


Lush greens in hues of grass, palm, and asparagus take the lead in this colorway that adds dashes of tangerine for an all-important pop of contrasting color. The many shades of green have had a considerable resurgence in the past three years, as they have varied from deep emerald to bright chartreuse. For spring 2022, the pallette tends toward nature inspired greens that are neither too blue, nor too yellow; and they mate well with soft khaki shades of sisal and rattan for a mildly tropical vibe.






With contrasting tones of butterscotch and onyx, Norwalk’s Tigers Eye color trend evokes a slightly exotic mood. While ivory and eggshell ground covers anchor the trend, warm honey and butter hues give this colorway a subtle animalistic undertone. Be on the lookout for bees, tigers, giraffes, cats, and sheep. The inky accents add a crispness to the softer mustard hues that carry this colorway.


Fabrics that sooth with steely blue color hues. Soft blues, often with a luster, and tempered with the infusion of silver or platinum carry the major color story. As counterpoints and complements to the ethereal blues a variety of green tones, ranging from celadon, to grass, kelly and chartreuse add an enlivening energy.


The deeper green tones of emerald, pistachio, and basil. In these modern vignettes, midnight black and snow-white play the accent roles, while frolicking zebras and leafy tropical patterns add a far-away rhythm. Hints of canary yellow add punch and counterpoint to this upbeat tune.


Caravan
While shades of camel and caramel take the lead, obsidian and tribal patterns continue to play a supporting role in this growing color trend. We’ve watched for several seasons now, as mid-brown earth tones and shades of butterscotch and dune have grown in popularity. Tribal patterns, animal skins, and rich sorrel browns add depth and familiarity to this color story.




No color is more a menswear staple than Khaki. Born in the British Raj, and expanded to virtually every country and men’s closets, Khaki is that base color that, in all its subtle shades, is the perfect ground for a broad range of accent colors. Like Khakis and a Navy blazer, the blues range from navy to chambray and a punch of scarlet adds that tertiary accent.
