Verb. (third-person singular simple present forbodes, present participle forboding, simple past and past participle forboded). 1  To portend or foretell, especially of ill; to serve as a sign or ill omen.
For example, rich colors such as evergreen, burgundy or navy look striking in a rustic log cabin. However, because you're just using panels of color, there's no danger in the richness of these colors darkening the interior of the cabin.
Colors: The rustic Tuscan color palette leans heavily on earthy, unpretentious hues evocative of a Tuscan hillside. Floors: Terracotta tiles, stone with mosaic inlay and worn wood covered with antique rugs are all ways to bring a Tuscan look down to the floor. Accents: Wrought-iron accessories such as candle sconces and light fixtures can reinforce the rustic theme.
