living room paint colors with hardwood floors
as a designer, i love helping people make confident design choices for their homes and the shaw floors color of the year helps everyone use color more confidently. i always look forward to seeing what they select and i am thrilled with this year's choice. for 2018 the shaw floors color of the year is gold rush. a warm neutral that celebrates the return of gold to the home. grays and other cool palettes have owned the design spotlight for years now. with the emergence of gold rush, we're starting to see how even small dashes of warmth can refresh a room and create an entirely new look, and when gold rush is used as the dominant color, it highlights rich texture and creates an elegant stamp of personal style. this color has the power to remind us of the past. it's familiar,
comforting, and peaceful, yet, when used in unexpected ways, gold rush manages to feel new, fresh, and modern. like the name itself, gold rush brings energy to a room creating a range of emotions from warmth to excitement, from serious to playful, and gold rush pairs beautifully with recent shaw colors of the year. it's so glamorous with navy, irresistible against white and it elegantly punctuates lush green, and it still complements all those cool greys. with gold rush, you don't need to change everything. a few small elements bring vivid life to a room. i'm so proud to join shaw floors in giving a warm welcome to gold rush: the 2018 color of the year.
