ITINERARY
TRENDING
Bold Colors in Home Decor
C
olor trends aren’t just for the fashion world. Try
taking a cue from color authority Pantone’s top 10 colors for
spring 2014 to freshen up your home decor. Accessorizing
with bold accents around your home is one of this spring’s freshest
looks, and Pantone’s hero colors — Radiant Orchid, Dazzling Blue,
Freesia (bright yellow), Celosia Orange and Cayenne (vivid coral)
— are just the hues to bring this trend to life. While the idea of four
Radiant Orchid walls might give some people pause, the same shade
used as an accent via, say, a velvet chair is both elegant and fun. To
fully execute this particular method of decorating, rely on pastels
and neutrals for large-scale areas like walls and carpets, and then
punch up the volume in your accessories, furnishings and art. For the
perfect pairing of colors, try Radiant Orchid accents with shades of
pale blue and gold; Freesia pops against muted greens (think mint)
and yellows; and Dazzling Blue beautifully complements neutrals
from white to tan. If you’re color-shy, start with one pop of color per
room and choose smaller, less-expensive pieces until you’re certain
you love the choices you’ve made. Once you’re ready to commit to
color, you can add additional bold accents and even go for investment
pieces. For the less timid, two accent colors per room create quite
the impression: Dazzling Blue and Radiant Orchid look striking
together, and the pairing of Cayenne and Celosia Orange creates an
eye-pleasing monochromatic effect. —Emily L. Foley

Head founder Sam
Calagione but also
to showcase his
beloved and oftenoverlooked
home state.
“We saw the opportunity to further
champion the
Dogfish Head brand
and also establish a
home base for experiencing how beautiful coastal Delaware
is,” Calagione says.
The 16-room,
beer-themed Dogfish Inn in coastal
Lewes — about an hour from Salisbury,
Md., and halfway between the Dogfish
brewpub in Rehoboth Beach and the
production brewery in Milton — will
occupy the former Vesuvio Motel. Soap
and shampoo will be beer-infused, and
each room will house a mini refrigerator
with beer glasses for those who want to
bring their own beer. But the inn won’t
house its own bar or sell its beer on-site.
“Our goal is to say, ‘Go out and explore,
and then come back with your beer,’”
Calagione explains. www.dogfish.com
