| Colour creates an emotional reaction to the way we feel and think about a product, and affects almost every purchasing decision we make. Research shows that colour affects our perception of space and is known to have an affect on our appetite and mood. For example, orange stimulates the appetite, making it an ideal colour for outdoor dining settings. Blues are ideal for creating a cool and calming outdoor environment in which images of crystal clear waters are conjured. Chocolate is a comforting colour, making us feel relaxed, safe and protected - also one of this season's hottest trends. From the blue green lagoons of the south pacific and crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean; from fresh and energizing citruses, to lively and nurturing forests; from crisp, invigorating white surfs to cool and sophisticated slates; this seasons Hartman range is dominated by a mood and taste for a diverse range of refreshing and vibrant colours. While nature has largely been an inspiration for colour, pop art culture of the 60's and 70's is a big influence in the trend for patterns and textures this season. Although solid colours are still hugely popular, geometric shapes, technology patterns and graphic florals have a growing influence on all facets of fashion and home furnishing. Hartman's exclusive range of fabrics boasts a wide selection of colours and designs that respond to this development. |
