This trend is likely an offshoot of color blocking, something that has been growing in popularity in the clothing design industry as of late. It involves very simple, solid colors. There are no patterns, no intense designs, and no frills. It certainly fits well into the modern/contemporary category, which you know we love.

Feel free to check out the awesome examples of color dipped objects below. And, don’t forget – you can easily replicate this yourself with a little bit of paint and a smidge of DIY spirit.

Metallics have been all the rage for the past two years, and that trend doesn’t seem to be dying soon.

This incredible desk is unique because the legs are left a natural wood tone, while the rest of the desk is painted. While some may say it looks unfinished, others will certainly comment on this unique conversation piece. It’s important to note that any piece of furniture would benefit from this treatment. If you are unsure, go ahead and purchase a small side table at a thrift store and give it a try before altering one of your more expensive pieces of furniture.{found on Jacquelyn Clark via Design Sponge}.
