Color of the Year

2022 – a year of transformation and high vibrations

The Color of the Year is an initiative that we follow closely, both globally and indicated by the largest color company Pantone, and locally with its participation in the workshops organized by Orgachim, which aim to bring out the most popular trends for the region of Bulgaria in terms of colors.

Our society continues to turn to color as a mirror of its inner world, searches and inspiration, and colors are a powerful “weapon” of communication of our moods. With the shocks at the global level in the last 2 years, it is quite normal for the direction to be transformation and change of the individual and collective vibration.

Purple as innovation and transformation

For the first time, Pantone is creating an entirely new shade to be leading in 2022. According to Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, the purple shade Very Peri is a reflection of what is happening globally, namely through the creation of the new color, it reflects on universal transformation and global innovation.

Purple tones have always symbolized increased vibration and self-awareness, and the complex essence of Very Peri – a combination of red violets with blue notes, is an expression of creativity, the development of ideas, emotions and the search for growing opportunities for humanity.

 

Medara – the power of internal energy

Orgachim this year again they bring out an extremely energizing shade under the name Medara. It is part of the orange range and is distinguished by tone, strong energy and warmth. The color is a beautiful reference to the bright fashion of the 60s with its retro taste, drama and original presence.

Medara goes extremely well with natural materials such as wood, leather, linen. White and dark gray accentuate and liberate it.

Both colors – Medara and Very Peri, are suitable as an accent presence in the home due to their strong character. We advise you to include them in the interior on one of the walls through paint or beautiful wallpaper, for furniture – chairs, sofa or decoration – pillows, blanket, objects. In this way, they will be able to manifest their bright radiance without intrusion. Here are two examples of how we implemented the two colors as an accent in the interior of a bathroom:

We combined Very Peri with fresh white, frosted black and smoky glass. We combined medara with the presence of wood, large raster, white, and gold is just a wink to the warm radiance of space. In both cases, we have included an imitation of a mosaic, in which the leading color and complementary shades must be present to achieve homogeneity.

Of course, we will not ignore the fact of how well these two colors fit together. If you are a supporter of a more eclectic style, then you can safely experiment and combine them in one space. To complete the abundance of sensory sensations, you can add plush, long hair and coarse rasters to this interior. The presence of impressive carpets is very relevant, which not only through colors, but also shapes will express your expressive essence. Purple and orange bring a touch of Orient and will refresh your home qualitatively.

BejaView – a delicate beige shade conquers 2021

The choice for a local trend Color of the year, initiated by Orgachim, is a light beige shade

The color of the year is a trend marking that has become a long-awaited event. For the second year in a row, it was a pleasure for the ATG Design team to join the process of defining a local trend for Bulgaria through a special workshop organized by Orgachim and bringing together representatives of various companies related to exterior and interior.

Delicate shades of beige are a symbol of our connection with the root, with our base. Subconsciously reminiscent of clay, warm sands and earth, color brings calm and humility, while it can also be interpreted as a sustainable base on which to unleash our potential. In the interior, this could be interpreted through the combinations of color – on the one hand with natural elements such as wood, wool, cotton, hemp to ground us, or on the other hand with marble, gold and copper to emphasize our distinctive character.

We will show you how we apply it in residential interior design and how we combine it in the best way.

 

BejaView in combination

We love the ethereal and gentle essence of beige! It can be present both on the walls through paint, cladding, wallpaper, and on fabrics and textures of furniture and decoration, for example. When combining it with other colors – most often we choose the following approaches:

1) The gray-brown range very well emphasizes light shades of beige. At its core, beige is a warm and earthy color, so the combination with a tone containing brown invariably becomes a perfect combination. To achieve a variety of textures – you can add naturally dyed fabrics in these colors – leather, wool, linen, cotton, straw.

2) Accents – they can easily break the basic character of beige. Complex colors such as turquoise and blue-green contrast with the softness of BeigeView and bring a cold and fresh breeze. Gold and copper, on the other hand, have the opposite effect – they enhance heat, while at the same time inserting a noble shine.

A favorite trick that caresses the eye is the meeting between cold marble and warm wood through beige. The choice of milky marble with distinctive veins and dark wood for wall cladding or flooring goes very well with BeigeView – both in furniture and in wall color. According to the character, concept and budget of the entire interior, we can tip the scales even just by choosing BeigeView to be present as paint or elegant wallpaper with natural threads.

BejaView – the key to creating space

As a light color, BeijaView can “open” spaces by optically expanding them. The best application option would be to prefer the beige shade on a leading wall in the room and combine it with mirrors or other smooth surfaces such as glossy countertops or marble, for example. It is important to observe where daylight comes from and use it to the maximum to reflect the beige color and spread it throughout the space.

Beige tones are soothing and balancing, suitable for all rooms in the home. You can break its lead by choosing milkier or browner variations.

We hope that with the proposed tips and examples, we have built a good starting point for the application of the Color of 2021 in your home. Follow us on Instagram for more inspiration – @atg_design.

Blue as Harmony

[:bg]

Favorite shades of blue conquer the world with the trend “Color of the Year” on a global and local level in the interior.

In the interior, we always adhere to clean lines and minimalist style, in which the tenderness of white and the veins of marble are leading. We admit openly that for ATG design, blue has always been a favorite choice for an accent color and in this line of thought, “Blue Harmony” – the local trend chosen as the color of the year by “Orgachim”, is a shade in which we recognize ourselves as distinctive for our work. It fits very well with the palette of white and gray tones and highlights the natural materials, such as wood and stone, that we prefer to work with.

What moods does blue bring us?

For example, for a bedroom project, we choose “Blue Harmony” to be in the lead role on the wall opposite the window. Thus, by reflecting daylight, the whole room is immersed in a blue hue and during the day it gives a sense of calm and balance.

At the same time, our demand is to express character and confidence in the bold decision for a predominant and saturated color in the room. We believe that with the presence of different textiles in the room, a pleasant variety of surfaces is achieved, which contrast with the smooth furniture, mirrors and stone. This speaks not only of confident style, but also confirms the exquisite taste of the inhabitant.
