Working with an interior designer does require a fair amount of trust – it’s your home, after all! We’ve worked with clients who sought everything from a completely neutral color palette to those wanting to incorporate all colors of the rainbow, and plenty of families who fall somewhere in between.
While neutral design is beautiful and timeless, we love a pop of bold color to let the personality of each of our families really shine. We achieve this through colorful textiles, carefully-selected paint and curated accent pieces that complement our clients’ colorful vision.
Need some ideas on how to incorporate color into your home design? Here are a few of our favorite projects where pigments really shine.
Navy Nights
Dark blue is synonymous with sleep, so we loved incorporating navy paint and furniture into a recent primary bedroom redesign in Franklin. We added Naval by Sherwin Williams to all four bedroom walls with a matching dresser to seamlessly blend in, then began brightening the room with shades of brown, white and yellow.
As with any primary room, the bed is the focal point, and the brown wood frame with a matching wicker bench at its footboard brought a welcomed contrast against the darker walls. We then added bright white bedding and complementary pillows, a pair of charming lamps, patterned drapes and white side tables. The star of the show, however, towers above it all: a stunning chandelier built from gold and woven coco beads, a masterpiece from design brand Made Goods.
Restful Teal
In contrast to our starry night-inspired bedroom, we brought a bright color into another recent Franklin redesign: teal! The color sparks calm as much as it does energy, and we loved the use of it on these primary bedroom walls so much, we presented a case to our clients to make the color even more prominent than originally intended. Since it’s such a bold color (and arguably unconventional for a primary bedroom), we began painting in stages, beginning with an accent wall, then moving it through to adjacent walls, and ultimately, we added it onto the ceiling as well.
We dialed the teal down with a textured accent wall along the back – a thick, multi-colored natural grasscloth textured wallpaper backdropping the bed – with hints of blues, neutrals and orange lines running through with stunning gold and white sconces on either side. We rounded out the design with patterned drapes and coral and white accents. One of our favorite focal points is the chevron patterned sliding door leadinging into the bathroom, where our teal continued: check it out here!
