I know... I know... I'm always posting images of cool hues with pale off-white monochromatic pallets. It's time to spruce up a bit and blog about the power of color. The glorious thing about color is its power and abundance of energy and emotion. How can something so simple have such an impact?!
For me color has been derived from all kinds of sources from my childhood, a treasured object, my Grandmother's home, a special item of clothing, the enjoyment of the simplicity of the sea, etc...
I do love color - only is small amounts.
Designing with color is all about choosing the feel that's right for you.
The images below are fun and bright and bring happiness:

I'm curious - are you drawn more to color or soft monochromatic hues?
Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteWonderful images but like you I like color in small amounts. Which is why I have to wonder what I was thinking when I reupholstered a chair recently in such a bold color! (I posted it yesterday.)
ReplyDeleteColor all the way.. my store's tag line is "infused with lots of color...Suncoast Style!" Enjoyed your blog, I am now a follower.
ReplyDeleteLove it! In a world filled with gloom I have to have splashes of happy colors.

I liked the color but somehow the whites are so much more detailed with warmth.
ReplyDeleteWHoa Whoa wait what??! COLOR??? DEZY????

I'm drawn to a neutral palette, but these images may be changing my mind!!

ReplyDeleteOh Desirée ma belle,
ReplyDeleteEACH PHOTO EXUDES JOY! I particularly love those cloches with the birds; I have a new design coming in my Etsy that involves birds....many happy wishes for a delightful CHRISTMAS and thank you so much for visiting! Anita
This is delightful. For me, there's no such thing as too much color so long as it is used tastefully. I do believe color makes people happy.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am asking for permission to use one of your images (colorful candles on mantlepiece) to use for my small art studio. I would ensure that you are credited for the image (and it will provide publicity for your website). LOVE IT.
Just wanting to ensure due diligence!
Thanks! Sue
Color is very important for the interior choice. That is the reason I like to use professional programs as https://planner5d.com/use/home-design-software/ to choose the best one. As there are so many variants that the view of every of them is necessary.
