PURPLE

This color inspires creativity and higher thinking.

People tend to be either totally for purple or against it.  Remember, it can look beautiful on walls or in small doses in a space.  The more and more I learn---the more I learn that being closed minded is not always productive, and it can be a good idea to entertain the ideas you usually shut down.  If you never do this...you will never stretch yourself and grow your creativity.

ALL ABOUT PINK!!!

At some point in most girls' lives, they dream of having a pink room.  Most grow out of the idea and think of it being, well...a little over the top to do something so extreme as having a pink room--- outside of a child's room, of course.  Well, this idea did not stop these interiors..and to be honest...juvenile was the last thing I thought of when I saw some of these spaces.  Whether you choose pink walls or pink accents...it can be chic!

What are your thoughts???  Are you all about pink?!

COLOR IS BACK PEOPLE

Okay, I am almost positive... color is back!

Not too long ago, all we saw were neutrals and browns. I must admit, I love neutrals and browns.. you find it all over my wardrobe. Well, things are changing for sure! I find that adding even a splash of color really adds alot and brings fun to a space. A neutral wall with a dash of turquoise in pillows, lighting or prints, bright or soft, can be stunning! There are so many options! Just as I have discussed in previous blogs, take a look at the fashion industry to see what is in for interior design. Color is back people!

According to designer Juan Montoya (above), who holds a spot in the Interior Design Hall of Fame, monochromatic is fading out. "What are some tired design trends? What’s going out of use is to do rooms in a monochromatic way. People are starting to find that color can be quite exciting, and that not every room has to be beige and colorless. You can say you can live in a beige room and be comfortable. But at the same time, I think it depends on how it’s used. And I think that the overexposure of these elements, which only read very monochromatic, is what is going out of style."

YELLOW

Yellow is a great color.

It can have great impact in a room and works in many spaces. Not enough or too much natural light doesn't limit this color's wonderful potential on the wall. If you have few windows in a space, yellow creates light. Yellow looks great in rooms with natural light because it makes it appear paler. This color looks fabulous when used as a dash of color in a space with contrasting color, such as a deep, rich brown. Love it!
