Ombre (also called “degradation” or “gradient”) in interior design is a color transition that moves from light to dark tones or incorporates multiple tints of color. Ombre patterns can have a dramatic impact via multiple applications by providing saturations of color that blend from light to dark shades. While ombre tends to lean more modern or transitional in style, it can be used in so many ways, such as floor coverings, wall coverings, window treatments and much more. Check out some of our favorite applications of this trend!
