Sherwin-Williams today just announces its 2024 Color of the Year Upward SW 6239, a breezy and blissful shade of blue that evokes the ever-present sense of peace found when slowing down, taking a breath and allowing the mind to clear.
Led by Director of Color Marketing Sue Wadden, the Sherwin-Williams global color and design team researches and identifies key trends that influence the way we interact with color. From those findings, the team turns emerging trends into the annual Colormix® Forecast, which features trending palettes for the year to come. The team then chooses the Color of the Year from the Colormix® Forecast — the 2024 selection, Upward SW 6239.
“Upward SW 6239 represents the gentle forward momentum in all of our lives,” said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “It brings to life that carefree, sunny day energy that elicits a notion of contentment and peace. With this color, we invite our consumers to take a pause and infuse a new sense of ease and possibility into their spaces – one that doesn’t overwhelm, but rather establishes meditation and tranquility.”

Sherwin-Williams Upward SW 6239 paint color not only effortlessly complements coastal design, it will also look good with antiques, vintage pieces, modern/contemporary furniture, transitional pieces and even whimsical boho interiors.
An icon of Arts & Crafts design, the 19th-century British artist, poet and environmentalist William Morris is famed for his botanical textiles and wallpapers, furniture and decorative objects. Founded in 1861, Morris & Co. still creates unique products that uphold his legacy. “We’ve seen a wave of nostalgic design, starting in Europe and now sweeping across the U.S., with a newfound love of color, pattern, and maximalism in our homes. William Morris’ designs are at the forefront of this movement,” says Vallis, who with Maness, scoured the Morris & Co. archives and selected iconic patterns from 1800s to create a suite of plates, bowls, table linens, and more. “I was inspired by images of dining rooms covered with Morris & Co. wallpaper and imagined how Williams Sonoma could translate some of the iconic patterns to the tabletop,” says Maness. “We felt that the Morris & Co. collector would like to have pieces on display every day in their kitchens.” After a successful launch of Williams Sonoma x Morris & Co. last year, here are 7 of our favorite new pieces from this year’s update that are just in time for your fall table refresh.
Lighting is one of our favorite ways to elevate our clients’ homes by creating a moody atmosphere and bringing in a touch of sophistication or whimsy.

Mitzi recently tapped artist, designer and influencer, Natalie Papier to launch a new lighting collection that is bold, fun and whimsical. We love the vintage-inspired style, sculptural forms and relaxing vibe of these lighting fixtures. Here are our favorite pieces from the Home Ec. x Mitzi collection.
