The Perfect Colors For People Who Love The Sea
If you can’t go to the sea, bring the sea to you! Look how refreshing this is! I can almost smell the saltwater and the sand between my toes. All my “Perfect Colors For” graphics are available for purchase.
Color Me Calm
From the clothes we wear to the colors in our home, we MUST be surrounded by soothing hues. Too much color will add anxiety to your life, too little will leave you lifeless. Which colors are enough when you need calm in your life?
I love these muted colors! On another level, the represent the Heart Chakra. Yes I know the Heart Chakra is green but sometimes we also associate pink with it as well.
So here you have it – hands down, pink and green to calm, calm and calm.
The Perfect Colors For An Office
So many people are working from home and the office color HAS to be perfect! If you don’t feel happy and uplifted in your office, how can you be productive and positive? Come read why I chose these six colors for a palette to consider for your home office.
The Perfect Colors For Babies
The best thing about my “Perfect Colors For” series is that I do all the work for you. Like one of my color palettes? Just ask and it can be yours!
Here I have The Perfect Colors For Babies. If you notice, they are perhaps the typical colors you’d see or used to see in nurseries. The reason I said “used to” is because now, there are SO many nurseries that are gray. GRAY! I don’t know about you but gray DOES NOT BELONG IN A NURSERY! Let’s explore these colors a bit more.
The Perfect Colors For Men
Do men actually have “go-to” colors? There are certain colors that men gravitate towards and yes, there is a grouping that I find they prefer.
I know some men will say they do not agree with these color choices yet there will be many who will love these hues in their home.
The Perfect Colors For Color Sensitive People
It seems like today’s people are becoming more and more sensitive not only to life in general but also to color. How do you choose color for a client who says, “Help! I’m sensitive to color!”
Right off the bat, color for color-sensitive people does not have to be boring. You can have a beautiful color palette, but it needs to gentle to the eyes and soothing to the soul. This is a color palette for people who are sensitive to color.
What Is The Best Hallway Color?
I highly suggest this color because I have it in my home and know it works. It’s the perfect blend between a beige, a gray, and a soft white.
Like life, unless I see it, feel it or experience it, it’s just hearsay, or it doesn’t exist, and yes, that applies to color as well. I also really love Valspar colors, especially their Historic Trust colors. Why? Because it seems like EVERYONE has Sherwin Williams in their home and the looks are getting saturated, there is no uniqueness anymore. Valspar has a beautiful array of colors from earthy to bright, and if you combine the right ones, it is a knockout color palette.
Getting Back To Basics From The Inside Out
I saw this photo on Boho homes and just fell in love with the way it feels. It’s natural, not manicured and has a beautiful energy and life if you can pick up on the elements here. THIS is what our directions should be – natural. Gone are the days where we are structured, manicured and followers. Born are the people who are free spirits in thinking and in spirit. Try it, just be you for a change and lead yourself into something that feels beautiful and natural. The time is now peeps.
What Do Virtual Color Consultations Look Like?
Hi everyone! I’d like to show you a glimpse into my virtual world. Here is a graphic that I designed for a recent client. She had a very large home, 10,000 square feet to be exact and here, I break it down for you room by room.
This is a graphic that I designed. It has a photo of the space that needs new color and I included the color names and placement for that room. It’s so easy!
