hi i'm anita joyce here with kelly wilkness and this is decorating tips

and tricks today we are talking about dated color pairings

that are back

and doesn't this happen a lot kelly colors are in they're

out they're in they're out sometimes my head is just spinning with all the changes in the colors.

Well, yeah.

I mean, every year we've got the colors of the year and more and more people are doing colors of the year.

Even spray paint had a color of the year this year.

So I don't know.

Yeah.

Everybody's trying to sell their colors, but I think in design about every 10 years, things start to come back.

But with these that we're going to talk about today, I think they were very well out and we have not seen these color pairings in a while.

So this is kind of getting dusted off and coming back.

The gray just took over for so long.

And, you know, I liked the gray in the beginning, but then I saw it used so badly.

And I just, it became nails on a chalkboard.

It was just, no, no, no. And so I, with everyone else was so sick of it and so ready for it to go.

So it is so refreshing to me to see all the color.

I think it's taking a while for people to move their homes this direction, but it's definitely out there in the design world and has been for a while.

Oh yeah.

Color is here.

It hadn't been here for so long.

We had all the beige and neutrals, the grays, as you mentioned, and what some designers called the blandification of home design.

Ouch.

Yeah, but we loved it.

We all embraced it and neutrals are beautiful.

Even all white rooms can be beautiful done well.

Grays can be beautiful done well.

It's that when we were just doing that and nothing else, it was really boring.

And then color comes back and then people are edging into color.

And we've talked a lot about how you can start adding color back into your house.

Anita's embraced it full throttle.

But people are craving more personality, more contrast, more emotion and more fun.

And I truly believe the pallets that we're talking about today are coming back because people are craving some nostalgia.

We don't need to get into it.

And we don't

because you are here to free your mind from a lot of the thing that's going on in the bigger world, right?

We are here focused on beautiful design and having some laughs and building community with you.

So we don't get into all of that.

But frankly, it's pretty stressful out there.

And I think people are looking for anything,

even color palettes, to feel comforted and nostalgic for maybe what they remember to be some better times.

So some of these colors, in fact, I think all of these color palettes I have seen before and more nostalgic days.

This is really more a fun discussion

and it gets you thinking about what color you might want to add to your house.

What color combinations would work well in your home?

So don't feel like you have to follow these exactly.

Think of this as kind of a starting point, a jumping off point as it were.

Okay, so color pairing number one.

Anita is going to kick it off.

This one is definitely nostalgic for me and I definitely won't be using it in my home but let's talk about it.

Teal and orange and I had the same feeling I did the peach

and blue back in the day and I'm not going back.

Orange just isn't my color.

I might add it some but it's just never going to be a big color in my house.

So this color pairing did have a big moment in 2010

and it was an interiors fashion graphic design and then boof it was gone and now it's back.

But now it's here with a richer, moodier, really more sophisticated energy.

And trend forecaster WGSN named transformative teal its 2026 color of the year.

So this comeback definitely has some oomph to it.

Teal and orange are very close to complementary colors, which means they naturally create some tension and balance.

The teal does bring some depth and coolness to the room and the orange add some warmth.

So it really is a nice vibrancy that it brings to the room.

Some specific pairings you could use

if you want to use this color combination you can go with dusty teal

and burnt orange or you can use a blue green with a terracotta.

100

You can use a moody teal with a rusty velvet

101

or even a soft sage teal with a cognac leather and you can use this really in any room in your house.

102

I mean, a living room, a library, dining room, really, it doesn't matter where you add it.

103

You can start with pillows.

104

Really, that's what I like to do if I'm adding some new color is just start with pillows and throws.

105

That's the easiest thing that you can add and take away from a room.

106

Another thing would be if you found some beautiful artwork that you just loved and that had the color in it, I think that would be a great way to go too.

107

But as I said, I'm not going to be throwing my stuff out and going with these colors.

108

So what do you think, Kelly?

109

I just want to order Howard Johnson's hot dog and then a clown sundae.

110

You went way back.

111

Yeah, I know.

112

I just can't.

113

I don't like teal.

114

I do like orange.

115

I definitely like orange.

116

I don't like teal.

117

I never have.

118

But that combination makes me think of where my grandma used to take me for lunch.

119

And I would get a yummy hot dog where they buttered the bun and then a clown sundae.

120

So that was all great.

121

But on their logo, I was definitely drawn to it.

122

But I would not want to have that in my house.

123

But I like these updated versions of it that you suggested.

124

The dusty teal and a burnt orange sounds really great.

125

And I could see this working in someone's house.

126

It's just not for me.

127

As Manita mentioned, this is a conversation about what's happening out there, kind of like a trend episode.

128

So we're just letting you know what's happening out there in the greater world.

129

That combination or the other combinations we're talking about today might not float your boat,

130

but it might get you thinking about other colors that you might be emboldened to then try.

131

so another pairing that's coming back and I really like this

132

and I get I'm really pulling from the way back Kelly machine

133

because I had a top that I loved it must have been like fourth grade

134

and it was pink ribbed and then it had a red turtleneck

135

and like you know how when they kind of like serge the edge

136

and it's kind of like a little ruffled and it had red thread on the sleeves.

137

And I just loved this top for whatever reason.

138

I have no idea what happened to it.

139

At some point along the line, I outgrew it, I'm sure, because I was only in fourth grade.

140

If you still had it, I would be calling for some intervention.

141

So there was a time when people thought these colors clashed.

142

I mean, clearly, I didn't think they clashed, nor did my mom, I guess.

143

But designers use them constantly.

144

You talk about whether they clash or not.

145

I think you have to be using the right red.

146

If you're using a blue red, a very cool red, I think it's going to work.

147

But if you're going with the orangey red, I don't think that's going to work so well with the pink.

148

It really just depends.

149

But then sometimes I see orange and pink together and I like it.

150

So you really have to be careful about putting these two together.

151

But I do love them also.

152

And I think they're a great color combination.

153

And the interesting thing is that these are not complementary, but they're very close to each other.

154

Yes, right.

155

So designers are using them because of the effect is warm, playful, glamorous, which I guess is what I thought I was in my little turtleneck.

156

And surprisingly chic.

157

Pink and red are neighbors on the color wheel.

158

So instead of high contrast, you kind of get a tonal relationship.

159

And again, as Anita pointed out, it really depends on what pink and what red you choose but they are neighbors.

160

It makes a room feel layered because it's more tonal rather than complementaries, which are opposite, romantic, and a little unexpected.

161

You could use this really anywhere, but I think it could be really great in a child's room,

162

in a dining room, because red in a dining room has always been spectacular and can be really chic in a bedroom.

163

I don't think I'd use pink and red necessarily in a living room, but you could.

164

So updated looks for this combination, a blush and an oxblood.

165

So a really deep, deep, almost brownish type of red.

166

Dusty rose and a brick red.

167

Ballet pink and terracotta.

168

So that's kind of getting to your orange and pink, Anita.

169

And then a warm pink and a wine red.

170

That's what I would, if I had to characterize that turtleneck, I would say it was a warm pink and a wine red.

171

Easiest way to try it?

172

Of course, the pillows and the throws. So easy.

173

But pink walls, it's not like making your walls teal.

174

A pink wall is a little bit easier to digest, so to speak, and a little bit easier to work with the rest of your house.

175

there is that setting plaster pink from Farrow and Ball that if you're looking at design magazines, you're probably seeing everywhere.

176

And that is a very, very soft pink.

177

I mean, it's almost like in some rooms kind of looks like Band-Aid color, but it is pink.

178

And so you could do something like that on your walls or just a very, very soft sort of whisper of a pink

179

and then add some red accents in a bedroom pink bedding with red throw pillows,

180

red dining room chairs, and maybe some art that has some pink in it, or a neutral room with the pink and red textiles layered in.

181

I think that would be the best way to use this, especially if you were starting out to add in color.

182

So whatever textiles you would think about throws, pillows, rug, things like that you could add in.

183

Or even if you're talking about a dining room, maybe you just do a runner in pink and red or fabric placemats or something like that.

184

So there are easy ways to add this in.

185

And I think it's kind of a lot less jarring than the teal and orange.

186

So it might be a good starter.

187

well I like it oh boy I have a confession I think I bought a red

188

and pink dress several months ago

189

and forgot to wear it I know well today's the day

190

I think you should go put it on oh my goodness

191

I know I know I'm thinking oh my gosh where is

192

that dress so um it's there somewhere it must be in there

193

but I think it's a wonderful color combination

194

and I'm finding as I'm adding more color to my house

195

that the reds really do add an oomph that you're missing if you don't have some sort of red in your home.

196

So I really like the idea of the red and pink.

197

And I think if you just have blues and greens, which I have a lot of blue in my house,

198

you really ought to think about maybe some red or pink or something along those lines to put in there,

199

because I think it's going to give it a real fresh feeling that you're going to love.

200

You know a great rug is literally the foundation of your decor.

201

And if you have kids, pets, or humans living in your house, you know rugs basically become ground zero for every spill, stain, and disaster.

202

That's why we're obsessed with Tumble Rugs.

203

Tumble makes spill-proof, stylish, machine-washable rugs designed for real life.

204

Tumble rugs feature a proprietary spill-proof surface that causes liquids to beat up on top of the rug.

205

So instead of soaking into the fibers like most rugs, you can literally wipe spills away in seconds.

206

It's kind of magical.

207

And when you need a deeper clean, tumble rugs are fully machine washable, even the larger sizes.

208

And all tumble rugs are made with non-toxic materials.

209

I have the Lisa tumble.

210

It is absolutely gorgeous.

211

And it stands up to my three dogs and my humans.

212

Machine washable rugs made better.

The sweater that somehow just works with everything, the jeans that you know will always fit just right, or the bag that you carry everywhere.

219

Those are the pieces that earn a permanent place in your wardrobe.

220

And that's exactly what Quince does so well.

221

And that's why my closet is filled with Quince.

222

Quince makes elevated everyday essentials using premium materials like Mongolian cashmere, organic cotton, and washable silk.

223

The designs are timeless, thoughtfully crafted, and made to be worn again and again.

224

Come fall, I'm going to go to where it all began with Quince and I, and I'll be reaching for those cashmere sweaters.

225

I just purchased a few more colors because I cannot get enough of them.

226

And can a girl really have enough cashmere?

235

That's quince.com.dtt So the next color combination is purple and green Honestly,

236

this has always been one of my favorite ones Not necessarily for decor, but I've just always loved these two colors together Maybe it's

237

because they're complementary colors And they're kind of across from each other on the color wheel

238

But there's something about them together that I've always loved But you know, purple's one of my favorite colors But green just goes so well with it

239

and so the green maybe makes you think of nature purple may make you think of royalty I don't know

240

if that has something to do with it

241

but they just work well together how about aubergine and olive

242

or you could even go with a plum and a sage maybe lavender

243

and moss mulberry and eucalyptus or even a dusty lilac

244

and a muted gray green there's so many different options

245

when you're putting these two colors together

246

and you can use them in a hallway

247

or a library a powder room bedroom I think you might even be able to find some beautiful wallpaper

248

that have these two colors in them you could find some upholstered accent pieces

249

and you could even just use one color maybe the green would be better as more the dominant color

250

and just put in the purple in accents because I love purple

251

but the thought of putting it on the wall makes me a little bit nervous

252

so I have not gone with that as a wall color.

253

Yeah.

254

I thought about it though.

255

Well, I think that in a powder room, you could definitely do it.

256

I like your idea of finding a wallpaper that has these colors in it.

257

When I think of these colors, I think of you.

258

I know there's blues in your mix for sure.

259

And maybe some pinks, but purple and green, I need springs to mind with those colors.

260

So, and being of spring, it's also a great combination out in the garden.

261

So in nature, you see there's a lot of purple plants, flowering plants.

262

And then of course, green is everywhere outside.

263

So purple and green, I think also has this very, even though we were talking about it, it's royalty and opulent and whatnot.

264

The green and purple combination, I think also has this sense of nature and spring and new beginnings.

265

So I think it's really lovely on lots of levels.

266

I agree with you.

267

I wouldn't necessarily go whole hog on purple walls, but I could see an aubergine powder room.

268

I would maybe do this because it's a very bold combination in a smaller scale.

269

So in a smaller space, maybe a study powder room, something like that, even a laundry room in these colors.

270

Well, and it's not purple, but I actually have some green lamps and I have a pink printed lampshade on top of those.

271

And of course, yes, it is a pair I have in the room, but the pink and the green work well together too, even though that's not one of the ones we're talking about, but it's very close.

272

That's really pretty together.

273

Yeah.

274

I love the pink green.

275

Oh, so classic.

297

Really fun ways to add some colors that we haven't seen for a while into our homes.

298

So easy ways to test this trend without a big commitment.

299

Maybe you've got some of these colors somewhere hidden in your storage bins.

300

Maybe you've got some teal pillow covers. Who knows?

301

If you've held onto them, maybe it's time to pull them out and test them.

302

So pillows, throws, lampshades, now that we're seeing so many more colorful lampshades and lampshades with pattern,

303

some art, vases, trays, even spines of books, small upholstered stools.

304

So just start in small spaces

305

and think about how you might want to just really amp up the colors that you're using in your home.

306

And it certainly doesn't have to be the three combinations that we talked about today.

307

We're just seeing these on the designer trend horizon and we wanted to bring them to your attention.

308

So I would use it as sort of a jumping off

309

point to think about what may be more bolder color combinations that you would like to have in your home.

310

And you learn something if you didn't already know it today about where the colors fall on the color wheel.

311

I believe we have a whole episode about the color wheel somewhere in the dusty archives.

312

So if you're not familiar with that, that's a good thing to learn about because that you kind of make, it makes sense when you understand how the color wheel works,

313

why certain colors, even though they're so different, seem to really work well as a pair.

314

Well, we have a whole episode just on working with complimentary colors.

315

So I'll link that as well.

316

We've covered it all.

317

Well, we've been doing this since 2017.

318

It's been a while.

319

And you know, I know you know, Anita, but there are many people that have been with us since day one.

320

And we couldn't appreciate those people more.

321

And we appreciate you if you just started listening to us last week.

322

So it's so wonderful to have you with us.

323

The community that we have built with our listeners

324

and then our consult clients really is something we couldn't even have imagined

325

how much satisfaction and pleasure and delight we were going to get from

326

that when we started this because we didn't know how this was going to go.

327

And when you take the time to leave a review, it truly touches our hearts.

328

And it makes us feel bad if you leave a not nice review.

329

Oh, Kelly, don't say that.

330

We can take that out.

331

But when you take the time to leave a review and let us know that where you're listening to us,

332

where you're taking us, whether it's walking your dog or driving to work or wherever you're going.

333

And we have had some that really have tugged at the heartstrings.

334

People who said that we've gotten them through hard times

335

or dropping their kid off at college and driving 17 hours back home.

336

All the people that are listening to us for all these hours, we appreciate so much.

337

So we just wanted to acknowledge a couple of people

338

that have recently left reviews for us because if you took the time, we want to take the time to thank you and acknowledge you on air.

339

Well, and if you've left a review a long time ago, we appreciate you also.

340

I feel like sometimes we focus on the new reviews, but we have listeners who have been with us since the beginning.

341

I see their notes all the time when they email us,

342

and I'm just so honored that you listened to us and that you've been continuing to listen to us all this time.

343

Thank you so much.

344

So what's your crush?

345

It's another video.

346

But you know what?

347

When I say that, it sounds like I'm putting it down.

348

But these videos are so inspiring, so beautiful, so peaceful, so relaxing to watch.

349

I think it's just wonderful to have great videos to watch.

350

So this one, you might have seen it.

351

It's Bunny Williams, New York City apartment.

352

Have you seen that?

353

Yes, yes, yes.

354

It's really beautiful, though.

355

And if you haven't seen it, I think it's worth a watch.

356

Everybody can learn something from Buddy Williams for sure.

357

Her books are fabulous as well.

358

I have a podcast, Ill-Advised by Bill Nye.

359

You will recognize Bill Nye if you don't recognize his name when you see his face.

360

He's in lots and lots of movies and shows.

361

Oh, I love him.

362

Oh, he's funny.

363

He's so funny.

364

He's so wry.

365

He just has this way about him.

366

so the title is ill-advised

367

and he'll just say in the beginning like i don't really have anything

368

that i'm sure that i'm telling you

369

but we're just here we're gonna waste some time together

370

and have a little break

371

and it is funny it is um very seems very feels

372

very spontaneous like he is just off the cuff he answers some questions there are maybe three

373

or four segments then he does a band word list where people write in words that they don't want to hear anymore.

374

Oh, and then he says them.

375

Oh, he says them.

376

And then he says, oh, well, now we've put them on the band word list.

377

And then he has a segment where he recommends books.

378

And then when he does a little playlist and it maybe has like three or four songs that he'll tell you about, and they list them all in the show notes.

379

So if you wanted to go check out the song or add it to your player, then you could do that.

380

It's funny.

381

I laugh out loud.

382

There's just something about him I absolutely adore.

383

He seems like a very, very smart man.

384

And I think to be funny, you have to be very smart.

385

And I just really vibe with him.

386

So I think you might really enjoy it as well.

387

Oh, I definitely will.

388

I love a good podcast recommendation.

389

And I mean, how many more times can I listen to Decorating Tips and Tricks?

390

So I have to broaden my horizons a little bit.

391

So Ill-Advised by Bill Nye.

392

We'll link it in the show notes.

393

And this is season two.

394

So if it's new to you, you have a whole season one to listen to and catch up on.

395

Oh, good.

396

Okay.

397

So you said they really don't talk about much, which reminds me, my podcast crush from long ago was Graham Norton.

398

And he would interview a celebrity and then he would answer listener questions with his friend, Maria McCurlin.

399

And that was my favorite part.

400

I didn't really care to hear the celebrities talking.

401

That was boring, boring, boring.

402

But his conversations with his friend, Maria McCurlin, which were just off the cuff, were the best part

403

and I'm going to give an extra crush while we're here.

404

So because he has a brand new podcast, I mean, new and maybe the last six months or so where he and Maria McCurlin, that's just the whole episode.

405

I think I'm not the only one that found their chitter chatter just to be hilarious.

406

So now it's just all people writing in with their not

407

so great advice as they put it and it's called wanging on and they just answer these questions and it's pretty funny.

408

They've even added an extra part where it's called, Am I Weird?

409

Which is some weird stuff.

410

Okay.

411

Yeah, but it's very fun to listen to.

412

They're very funny.

413

But I cannot wait to hear this new one with Bill Nye.

414

Yeah, yeah.

415

I think you'll really like it.

416

Oh, Double Crush.

417

What a day.

418

All right, well, try some of these color pairings that are back

419

or make up your own and definitely check out the video and these podcasts.

Kontext und Hintergrund

Die Video-Dialoge bieten eine großartige Möglichkeit, Englisch lernen mit Videos, da sie natürliche Sprache, alltägliche Szenarien und gesprochene Nuancen widerspiegeln. In diesem Gespräch geht es um zurückkehrende Farbkombinationen im Interior-Design, ergänzt durch Werbeeinblendungen zu Apps und Versicherungen. Die Gesprächspartnerin Anita Joyce und Kelly Wilkness diskutieren, wie Farben über die Jahre in und aus der Mode kommen, was eine lockere, aber informative Atmosphäre schafft – ideal für Lerner, die ihre Hör- und Sprechfähigkeiten trainieren wollen.

Top 5 Sätze für den täglichen Gebrauch

"I think Vinted is such a great idea, so why not give it a try?" – Ein häufiger Satz, um Empfehlungen zu vermitteln. Achte auf die Betonung von "great idea" und die flüssige Verbindung von "so why not".
"Insurance isn't a one-size-fits-all." – Ein idiomatischer Ausdruck, der bedeutet, dass etwas nicht für alle geeignet ist. Übe die Aussprache von "one-size-fits-all" (oh-ne-saiz-fits-ol).
"Colors are in, they're out, they're in, they're out." – Ein einfacher, repetitiver Satz, der die Wechselwirkung von Trends beschreibt. Achte auf die schnelle, natürliche Redeweise.
"Every year we've got the colors of the year." – Ein gängiger Satz zur Besprechung von Jahresmustern. Übe die Kurzform "we've got" und die Betonung von "colors of the year".
"I liked the gray in the beginning, but then I saw it used so badly." – Ein Satz mit Widerspruch, der Emotionen ausdrückt. Achte auf die Intonation bei "but then" und die Aussprache von "badly" (bäd-li).

Schritt-für-Schritt-Shadowing-Anleitung

Um Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und flüssiger zu sprechen, nutze die Methode shadowspeak (auch "Shadowing" genannt). Hier ist wie du es mit diesem Video machst:
1. Höre zuerst den gesamten Dialog einmal durch, um den Kontext zu verstehen. Achte auf die Rhythmus und Intonation der Sprecher.
2. Wähle kurze Abschnitte (5–10 Sätze) aus, z. B. die Passage über Farbtrends. Wiederhole jeden Abschnitt langsam, bis du die Wörter und Pausen kennst.
3. Spiele den Abschnitt ab und spreche gleichzeitig mit – versuche, die Tonhöhe, die Geschwindigkeit und die Betonung zu kopieren. Dies hilft, die muskuläre Erinnerung für die englische Sprache zu trainieren.
4. Nimm dich auf und vergleiche deine Version mit dem Original. Identifiziere Unterschiede in der Aussprache (z. B. "gray" vs. "grey") und korrigiere sie.
5. Wiederhole den Prozess täglich für 10–15 Minuten. Nutze eine shadowing site, um weitere Übungen zu finden, aber konzentriere dich zuerst auf dieses Video, da es natürliche, alltägliche Sprache enthält.
Mit dieser Methode verbessern sich nicht nur Aussprache und Flüssigkeit, sondern auch das Verständnis von gesprochenem Englisch. Probier es aus – du wirst schnell Fortschritte sehen!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
