Designing Your Creative Living Space: Part 1
I’m a big fan of peeping in windows as I drive down streets to see how people live. What colors are the walls? What things do they surround themselves with? Does it look like a happy place to live? You can tell a lot about a person by the respect they show for their living space.
It seems like everyone has that corner of a room or home, or yard that they just hate to walk by but get use to. I really think that exposing yourself to clutter and unhappy places in your house hinders creativity and well being. It’s just bad feng shui and “You don’t have to take it”!
People often say they want color in their life but are afraid to paint the walls, or buy large furniture in COLOR. Why not color your life happy? I recently moved into a bigger creative space and designed myself a pretty cool pad. So I’m writing this to help you figure out how to decorate your happy place, starting with color!
Enter my coveted issue of Home and Garden April 2000.
House and Garden April 2000
How to use COLOR!! I got this issue when I was still in college, and I loved to look at the ideas and use of color in spaces and dream about how I would design my space, post dorm life.
I love this color story, very modern, clean, lively and crisp.
I have always insisted on having the coolest pad I can no matter where I live, or what my budget is. I want to love my space and feel at home in the warmest way.
How about a warm inviting elegant and sophisticated arrangement?
I Love the color red, and I have always been inspired by Ms. DianaVreeland’s “Red Room” It’s so “Moulin Rouge“!
Or how about a playful use of color?
Have you ever stopped to consider green?
Or get really crazy and go with pattern AND bold color!
Soft neutrals don’t HAVE to be boring…
