Island Escape: New 2014 paint collection, or weekend plans?

PARA introduces the 2014 Colour Trends Passport- 
Four colour collections that incorporate 5 evocative hues: #1: Beach House, #2: Island Escape, #3: Urban Vibe and #4:  Northern Retreat

Continuing the theme of attempting to warm things up with beachy color collections- when will this 'Polar Vortex' leave? I think it's worn out its welcome...

Collection #2 - ISLAND ESCAPE 
Tropical inspiration- sunny, vivid floral shades are grounded by soft creams and an absolutely gorgeous deep Caribbean teal.

Once again I'll point out that these digital representations are inadequate to show the true depth of these great hues, particularly the teal, 'Tahitian Pearl', PF64. 

This incredible shade would be fantastic to dress up an older piece of furniture as a stunning accent. It would also look great alongside creams, paired with reds or olive tones.
Drop into the store to pick up a 'Tahitian Pearl' chip, and you'll see for yourself! 

The Island Escape Collection and many other shades are available on  large scale sample chips- a full 3.5" x 8"

Four colour collections that incorporate 5 evocative hues: #1: Beach House, #2: Island Escape, #3: Urban Vibe and #4:  Northern Retreat


Collection #1 - BEACH HOUSE 

Inspired by seaside memories, sunny & summery hues 
relax alongside deep ocean blues.
Currently it's about -20 here at the store- thinking of beaches and warm breezes helps (a little, not nearly enough! )



















My digital "paint blobs" don't quite do these shades justice so be sure to visit the store to have a look at the chips for these Beach House colours!




We'll focus on the other three great collections over the next few days so stay tuned!

The Sarah Richardson Designer Palette

Para Paints has teamed up with internationally acclaimed designer and TV personality Sarah Richardson to create the Sarah Richardson Designer Palette. 

On display at Bruton's now, the collection features each of the 75 colors on fantastic,  3 1/2 x 8 inch chips as well as idea brochures. 

Sarah's Colors Transform...

Richardson individually selected the 75 chic colours for use in combination to create inspiring yet harmonious backdrops for Canadian homes. Richardson believes that nothing transforms a room like a fresh coat of paint. “For years I have wanted to create a colour collection,” Richardson says. “Partnering with Para Paints has allowed me to share my sense of colour and my passion for paint.”

Richardson is known for her impeccable taste, her knack for always knowing how to mix the right colours together, and her ability to create timeless, yet innovative, rooms. Creating this collection for PARA Paints has enabled her to share her artistic flair and her discerning eye for colour. Long regarded as a designer who can bring rooms to life with a simple coat of paint, Richardson specializes in empowering Canadians by de-mystifying the process of design and encouraging them to follow her lead.

Hunter Douglas expands on their extremely popular Duette Architella Collection of honeycomb shades by adding Architella Batiste, and Architella Batiste Bamboo, made with one of  nature's most renewable resources.
