If you’re a casual reader of my articles or follow my work, you know that I embrace the power of color and do not shy away from the impact it can have. I’m always trying to encourage people to be brave, be different, and experiment with their interior and exterior design color palettes because there’s …

The afterglow of the holiday season has faded, and we all find ourselves in the throws of winter, some of the year’s darkest days. As I’ve said before, there’s beauty to be found in winter with unique winter colors, and it’s not a seasonal void to be feared. But, as a color specialist, I also …

As we round out the year and the holidays are in full swing, I’d like to take a moment to provide you with fun holiday home decor inspiration, including color ideas that are a little non-traditional and outside the box!
