Hello!
I personally love saturated colour, there is a vibrancy that gives life to it.
Interestingly enough colour has a physiological effect on each of us, it can invoke feelings both positive and/or negative.
Design calls for thoughtful use of colour in spaces, it's integral to the design plan.
Choosing paint colour requires a strategy -
What is the function of the space?
Who is using it?
Is there natural light?
What furniture currently exists in it?
Colour - how much?
As I work through colour schemes for clients the easiest way to start is by finding a jump off point.
Perhaps there is a favourite piece of art or an area rug, the undertones of granite or stone from a countertop, fabric on a central furniture piece.
There is always something to pull from and build a colour scheme that starts the ball rolling.
Oftentimes I see colour as a compliment to the main players of a space. Walls that are blank of colour, or have a hint of a hue provide the backdrop, they are not the focus.
Drop in a beautiful area rug filled with saturated colour and build from this interjecting certain colours pulled directly from the area rug - suddenly the room is brought to life.
Alternatively, a room with a deeply saturated paint colour creates an instant visceral effect.
There is a definite mood to it.
The backdrop of paint colour is now the star of the show.
This is a room with a personality that cannot be ignored.
We need colour in our life, the extent to which it shows up in our space is where designers flex creative muscle.
Each of us may interpret colour differently, the strategy involves figuring this out to create a space that the client feels inspired + comfortable in.
Live well + enjoy!
