Thursday Thoughts - Color


"Remember, color is not just color, but mood, temperature and structure." - Van Day Treux

Regarded as the father of 20th century American design Van Day Truex offers words of wisdom which can inspire us and make us step back and look at our interiors -their style concept and colour scheme.

As color plays such an important part of successful interior design we can use his words of wisdom to enhance our living spaces to improve our well-being – after all 'home is where the heart is' and if we don't love our homes we need to do something about it sooner rather than later.

Easier said than done for many, while for others it may just be a matter of looking forward with optimism rather than looking back at our failings. Today's world enables us to create stunning living spaces on the smallest of budgets and while we may long for a mansion and a pool these will only make you happy if you're happy with every other aspect of your life – including the color schemes in each of your rooms.

This year's interior design trends are based on optimism in these difficult economic times, and while returning to our roots may play an important part of us reaching an ideology, we should embrace the changes that we need to make to improve our lifestyle and our homes.

So, the next time you are going to re-decorate a room, give considerable thought to the colors that you choose. If you want to be on-trend then this year you should include tangerine, black and oceanic blues and greens.
