In selecting this hue, the color gods are defining our mood this year in a hearty, sophisticated, classic but stylish way, recalling the vintage look and the continuing obsession with the organic, natural, back to nature vibe. Marsala is a dramatic color but still full of warmth, offering a full-bodied expression of color. Although this color goes with many palettes, if you feel it is too strong for you and your style of clothes and your home fashion, perhaps just an accent of Marsala will keep you on trend.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10976 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/marsala.png\" alt=\"marsala\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/marsala.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/marsala-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10977 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/marsala-pantone.png\" alt=\"marsala-pantone\" width=\"600\" height=\"489\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/marsala-pantone.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/marsala-pantone-300x244.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Deep burgundy, rustic wood, prized leather upholstery, bricks and rough, textured granite all complement the Marsala style, reflecting this robust style.

A cache of dark burgundy roses pops a jolt of Marsala to any room.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10979 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/food-flowers-drinks.png\" alt=\"food-flowers-drinks\" width=\"600\" height=\"290\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/food-flowers-drinks.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/food-flowers-drinks-300x145.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your windows are also begging for some richness \u00a0of the Marsala shade.

New Year&#8217;s resolutions can be too\u00a0big and ominous to achieve. Sure, we all want to lose weight, exercise more, sleep longer, but maybe if you just concentrate on a few ways to make you a happier, more centered person, 2015 will shine brighter. These are a few good things that I am going to try to do for myself and I know you will have your own special ideas to ponder.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Do less laundry! Ugh, is my house full of clothes abusers and shedders.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Eat more veggies, and raw ones, too. My favorite health guru, Dr. Gabe Mirkin recently posted on his blog how raw fruits and vegetables intensify the breakdown of nutrients and make them much more accessible as fuel and not stored as fat &#8211; way more than cooked food. So, hurrah for raw this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Read more books (not in bed) &#8211; need I say more; I make it through two pages and fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Yell less.
