McLendon echoes her
sentiment. A steel-blue colored sofa in his showroom at Brock Moran Home is drawing raves, as are two upholstered beds paired with linens in steel-blue and pewter tones. The cool color trend in his shop extends to tabletop settings, with finer collections, such as those by Bernardaud, introducing platinum, gray and silver into their designs. Ultimately, however, homeowners should go for whatever colors make them happy. "How you feel in your home is how you feel in the outside world," says Kyle, who specializes in décor color. "I would rather see owners do what makes them feel good in their house. If in 10 years they decide to move, they will have to make changes anyway."

She suggests homeowners fearful of adding color dip their toes in by painting their smallest space, like a powder room. Another trick: "Your ceiling is a fifth wall. If you want to paint just one wall, then paint the ceiling," Kyle says. In the end, a home should be livable, comfortable and a place people want to nest. As Kyle sums it up, "Ten years ago it was 'Home, Sweet Home.' Then after 9/11 it was 'Home, Safe Home.' Today in this economy, it's 'Home, Cherished Home.' We want to appreciate what we have."
