| The usual colorful Mary McDonald does a subdued palette of gray in the September 2013 issue of House Beautiful - I love the pattern mix - Stripes both ways and that incredible chevron floor |
Color can be powerful in all ways, whether it's a palette of neutrals or a palette of bold saturated hues.
Mary McDonald has a feature called "Palette Cleanser" (a title so borrowed from bloggers).

| Mary McDonald flips her switch with with this palette cleanser of a room - You have to get the magazine to see it in all its glory - This is a very refined Restoration Hardware look, don't you think? I love the spattered Klismos chairs |
 |
| I love these chairs, and crazy me sees a DIY project here |
 |
| And then she flips the switch back in the same house in the den |
On the flip side Christopher Maya has a feature (and got the cover) called "A Bold Hand".

| Buy this issue! It's really good! I would kill for that navy blue velvet Bergere chair - Interior design by Christopher Maya |

The thing with color, is that there isn't one I haven't met, used, or liked. I equally swoon over Mary's gray chevron floors, and Christopher's navy blue velvet Bergere chairs. What about you? Do you stay in your tried and true wheelhouse of favorite color, or do you change it up from time to time?

ReplyDeleteI have loved navy when navy wasn't cool. I'm so glad to see it used a lot this year. That being said, I am afraid that now it will be trendy, and my classic rooms will look dated when navy soon gets tossed aside for the next "it" color.
ReplyDeleteLove it all.
