Tuesday’s Tips ~ Color Change

October 4, 2011 By Living Solutions Interior Design

I can’t tell you how many times Gina and I have worked with clients who have started off the project by telling us that they want to change the color of their space. Only to find out, after many hours and many design possibilities, that they have been led to believe that they want to change the color of their room. Yes it true that certain color combinations do go in and out of style trends, but it’s more the way in which those colors are used than the actual colors themselves.

This is a project that I worked on last year. My Client loved her bedroom but knew it was in some serious need of an update. She new that she loved this color and didn’t want to change it. Step one was to calm the space down by removing the wallpaper.


 BEFORE




By adding soft ivory accessories and upholstery the room begins to take on a much more peaceful feeling.

The soft updated pallet is carried thought the room with the addition of a high upholstered headboard, elegant bedding and bedside accessories.

Don’t be so hard on your favorite colors. Chances are you can still have a long life together. They just may need a bit of help!
