I wonder if any element of interior design is more personal than color.  Nothing can more quickly reveal aspects of personality and character than the choice or absence of color.  ~Van Day Truex

Color plays  a variety of roles in the drama of the design practice; sometimes cast as extras in supporting roles and many times the star of the show.  In these roles a particular color selection can show the audience a bit of the character and personality of both the designer and their clientele.

Color, when used precisely in one or a select few choices, will add a focal point in a space that says, “Here I am.  The one, the only, come on over!”

.

Here the star of the show is an acidic green, paired with a very neutral yet cool background.  There is a balance here that makes for a space  anyone can enjoy… If you didn’t like the color green before, you love it now!

We LOVE black!  When a color consumes a space , the result is an intimate place , a sanctuary.  Here I could see myself curling up in my favorite PJ’s and reading a great book, or rummaging through all my old domino magazines.
