Pantone 2012 Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango.

Great Wall is hopping on the Tangerine Tango band wagon.  Especially during winter, a fun color can really lift the mood.   The Polyvore set we created is fashion-oriented, but still features our Tape Deck wall covering from our Wallgazer collection.  This wallpaper has a street chic look to it.  It's fun for a teenager's room or a rec room, where you  might enjoy listening to some 80s music or playing Rock Band with the fam.

No matter how you decorate, this color can be incorporated into your decor.  Have a black and white room?  Try adding some flowers in this poppy red-orange hue. It would look great with Great Wall's new black and white houndstooth pattern, which is available in custom orders and will go on our website soon. 

Our "Drugs Saved My Life" wall covering/wallpaper also features a color very similar to Tangerine Tango.  This wallpaper was actually inspired by the book/movie "Prozac Nation".

Once again, all of our wallpapers can be custom  tweaked to fit your size, design, or color home decor needs.

Gloomy Grey Cheers Up

Today we found out that two of our staff are decorating our bedroom/guest bedroom with grey and yellow.   A perfect mural for this is the wallcovering "Balloons" from the Wallgazer collection.

From our Polyvore account.

This polyvore collage shows how to use these retro-inspired items in a modern way. By keeping the room achromatic with white, grey, and the occasional black, only a little yellow is needed.  Keep the whites in lacquer style, rather than a shabby chic, weathered-look. Mixing patterns is okay as long as you stick to a color scheme.  A cute,  patterned dog bed allows comfort and style for your loved ones.

This inspirational pic from Design-seeds.com is helpful in keeping a limited color scheme without being boring.  It even allows for a subtle blue, which is featured in the "Balloons" wall mural. Not diggin the blue?  Great Wall can tweak the colors of any of our wallcoverings.
