Color Inspiration


Our whole family loves color. When we moved from a dark, cramped apartment into a new condo with lots of light, we took the opportunity to create a space that's bright, cheerful and makes us smile. Getting up on cold winter mornings is a whole lot easier now.

Color Tips


Go with what you love and don't be afraid to be bold. If you try something and don't like it, you can always paint over it.

Great use of bright colors, but still a little too much white for me. Very nice combination of funky elements.

Good Idea with all the color. I may just have to try it with our Minnesota winters!

Great job using bright colors to balance all the neutrals. Too many people over or under-use loud colors, but this is perfect!

I love your use of color. These are my favorite tones/shades, the midrange kind of jewel tones. Where is your rug from?

Bright, inviting with a great balance between the color and the restful neutrals. These colors are really beautiful with the natural light from the (lovely, large) windows.

Great look! I love the combination of colors. Makes the room very bright. The yellow picks up the daylight beautifully.

What a creative use of paint! You could probably get rid of the white wall though--just go ahead and paint it teal. And I'd remove the runner and stick with one color votive on the table.
This space looks very comfortable and inviting.

Bel agencement de couleurs sans excès.
J'y passerais bien quelques soirs dégustant un chocolat chaud maison.

Bonne chance de Montréal,
Good luck, from Montreal!
