Trends: Dark is the new black

This year, trends are clearly headed in the direction of deep, rich finishes with a luxurious appearance. This continues a long-time trend of richer, darker colors.
“In the 1990s, lighter woods with more texture became very trendy,” says Faith Allen senior product manager for Merillat. “Today, we’re seeing trends going even deeper and richer, crossing over into the truly dark black and brown look.”
