My good friend Anna once wrote a hilarious post mocking design journalists for their prolific use of the word "fearless" when it comes to color choices for interiors.
I want to quote her, but I can't find it... Either way it went something along the lines of putting hot pink and orange together in the living room not really warranting a badge of courage.
So every time I see a bold color palette used for otherwise traditional spaces, I have to laugh.
These rooms made me think of Anna's astute snark. The use of textiles and color is rich, gutsy, fun and FEARLESS:

Love these images-- and how fun to be quoted!
ReplyDeleteThose colorful rooms are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYay Kate! We looooove color!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially love the blue library/living room. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnna is very right. Color choice isn't exactly an act of true courage, but I do love it when designers recognize that and TAKE SOME RISKS! There's way too much seriousness in design.
ReplyDeleteI am not afraid of color -- so these images really speak to me. Especially the first one. I love it! But I have to be snarky too - that last one? It looks like they ran out of tile! ha!
