The Art of Color

I love pops of colors. Whether it's design or fashion, I think it makes any ensemble look chic and well-put-together.

My favorite color combos: 

purple/silver or gray/black

aqua/coral/cream

black/white/sage green

light blue/brown/cream

I also love all earth tone colors; my design portfolio emphasizes this tremendously with my main colors being muted greens and browns. As for "painting the town red" - I'd prefer green J

When it comes to clothing, I love to layer up, accessorize, and add bright pops of colors; the little girl in the red shoes shares my style. 

In terms of interior design, I like to keep pops of color minimal but strong. I like to put them in places I want a lot of focus in a room like above a mantel, near windows with gorgeous views, or even in pillow/throws that emphasize carefully selected furniture. I like neutral wall colors for the most part (tan, grays, and cream/light yellow), so I can accent them with awesome accessories like I do with my clothing. I especially like to break up a wall with chair railing or throw in an accent wall in large spaces because it makes you look everywhere. Why just make the furniture look good when you have a 20' ft. high room? utilize the space and leave people gawking at your incredibly designed room because they can't decide what they like the most about your space. When designing, you should lead the eye in a fluid motion around the entire room, including all levels (floor, eye, and ceiling). 

I use the same principle with my outfits, which is the law of 3's. Not only is 3 a fantastic number, but it makes a room/outfit feel complete. I think it has to do with the golden mean with a perfect ratio revolving around 3. I use this law of 3's in interior design by putting whatever pop of color I want on all three levels. For example, in a cream beach house, I might use oranges and corals in the furniture and paint colors with pops of aqua in the rug (floor), the pillows (eye), and artwork or draperies (leads the eye to ceiling). In fashion, I would use the same concept with a cream dress with say aqua pumps, bracelets and a barrette. 

Popping design with colors makes me feel well-dressed/well-designed, confident, happy, and beautiful. I love how my fashion style inspires my interior design style...
