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"

Stay warm!

2014 Colour Trends- Creative, Colourful and Inspiring

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


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!

Autumn Inspiration

Fall is a wonderful time for decorating your home, inside or out- There's such a vast array of fantastic colors to explore....

Be inspired by the hues of changing leaves, crackling fires, harvest goods and contrasting skies. Fall decor is full of layered shades and textures, with subtle nuances as well as intense contrasts.

At right: the natural pumpkin texture is enhanced with the addition of metal tacks in graphic patterns. The mirror and metallic candle-holders add shine and polish to the arrangement.

You don't need to repaint to bring elements of Fall, but Autumn-inspired paint colors can be truly fantastic!

At left: Pumpkin and Plum paint combine to create a great, dramatic room with lots of warmth. The ceiling medallion and wall art add an exotic feel.

Check out Para Paints' 'Quilted Bag' p5125-52D  and 'Romantically Regal' p5145-85 for a similar look.

Wheat, grasses, fruits, nuts and of course leaves make wonderful decor when combined in interesting ways...


Love this punchbowl!         via

Add cozy throws in leafy hues for warmth, incorporate cushions with Fall-inspired themes and colors to change the feel of your rooms with less commitment.







Changing up your art can also be a great and relatively easy way to add
seasonal touches...
Framed leaves and twigs, a thoughtful quote, be creative!

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.
