The Salone del Mobile is the global benchmark for the Home Furnishing Sector. An invaluable tool for the industry as well as an ongoing, quite extraordinary promotional vehicle. The Salone made its first appearance in 1961, designed to promote Italian furniture and furnishing accessories on the export market, and it has continued to do so impeccably, ensuring that the quality of Italian furniture is known to all four corners of the earth, and continues so to do, with half of all its visitors coming from around the world. It will be held on 8th-13th April 2014.

This year, the one that has been choosen is Pantone 18-3224 Radiant Orchid, a subtle shade of purple that, as the administrator of Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman said, “encourages creativity and originality, inspiring confidence, joy, love and wealth”.
Reader’s question
"The living room area is painted in vanilla paint color. Coming into the house a hallway leads to the living room and a staircase goes to the upper floor. I would like your help on how to pick a hallway color to harmoniously work with vanilla color. In the hallway there is a vintage wooden carved mirror in dark walnut wood. I would like a warm intense dark color because the space is relatively small compared to the rest of the living room. The main colors on the sofas are honey/brown and on the drapery is honey/bronze. Thank you very much!"

Reader’s question
“I am going to install a fireplace in my house and I really need your help to choose matching colors for the fireplace and the wall around it. The furniture is dark brown and the curtains are light beige. All walls are white. On one wall I have living room cabinets in black and on the opposite brown/ gold paintings. Could I choose the color of vanilla for the fireplace and for the adjacent walls a chocolate mocha or the opposite? A low wall dividing the kitchen and the living room could be painted red? The space is airy and bright. I would appreciate your help."
