Summary

Infusing color in your projects can be a daunting yet transformative proposition. This week we asked seven designers how the hues they choose impact their spaces.

It is easy to warm up a neutral room by adding an unexpected pop of color just about anywhere. Starting small with a brightly colored AC vent against a neutral wall is a good way to ease into the colorverse. Using colorful appliances is a unique way to bring life into a kitchen along with painting the inside of the cabinets to match.

When using color, be experimental. Beautiful things will unfold.” —Kristen McCory, McCory Interiors, Burlington, Connecticut. “People love to be in nature, and nature is our biggest teacher when it comes to color.’ —Sara Bengur, Sara Bengur Interiors.

“At the end of the day, utilizing color is about balancing fun and sophistication.” —Charli Hendler, August Black Interior Design.

I feel like this is the hardest part of interior design. Getting the right combo of colors for the space is absolutely what makes it.

Makes or breaks it. Pairing awful colors just makes a space depressing

Textures and focus elements. There's generally quite a bit that people miss out on.

It's why I have a storage unit full of pieces that I'm "going to use one day"
