I took part in Interior Designer Chat on Twitter about a month ago. It's a twitter chat that takes place every Tuesday at 6pm EST (#IntDesignerChat), bringing together designers from all over the world to chat about key topics relating to the industry.

I gathered a few tips when Sherwin Williams was a host. I decided to provide anyone who may not have been able to take part with the information that was provided (PDF link is below).

Home Designers from everywhere engaged in conversation about color schemes and what colors would be the trend for 2014.

I took three of my favorite colors that came up in the conversation and inserted them with my own point of view of why these colors will dominate in 2014.
