Crazy For Color

Did you know in times of hardship, the trend is more neutral and black and white?  And when the economy is doing better, color is in style.  Well if that's true, things must be on the upswing because color is back. As I've said previously, I'm "neutral-ed" out.  The hard thing is that all designers have been so conservative with color for so long, that they aren't as brave as they once were.  Speaking for myself, I'm ready to face my fears head on and create some fun and life in the spaces I design.  Let's look at how these designers stepped out of the box with color....

Color Me Happy

Color is back people.  Frankly I pretty "neutral-ed" out, so I welcome the change.  It's been said that neutral interiors are the trend during times of war or economic depression, so it seems things are looking up!  I feel that people's color comfort level is a broad spectrum.  Some of the rooms below are saturated with color giving a bohemian vibe.  Other photos showcase the crisp look of bright white with accent colors.  It has only been recently that I can work with bold color in confidence, and honestly, it's so fun!  Hopefully with this trend you will be able to find your happy color medium!
