Collaboration is the key to success for many people. This was the case with a Historic Farmhouse project that Anne Rogers, of Anne Rogers Interiors, had spent several years meeting with the client and planning the remodel. But when there were some issues, Anne called Jim for his guidance and help with the plans.
2023 - The Year of Color In Your Home
While white kitchens will always stand the test of time, we’re seeing color design in homes moving away from all white kitchens and adding bold colors in many rooms of the home. We’re not denouncing shades of white in a home by any means, as they are timeless and work well in many areas of the home. But color is in and we are excited about it!
Bring in Pops of Color
If a white kitchen is a must, bring in pops of color with the finishes, a red or blue range or refrigerator, colorful chair cushions, bold backsplashes, and eye-catching curtains or blinds.
Install a countertop featuring pops of color.
Is it time for an island with a saturated bold base?
Plants create color with minimal changes—just remember to water them. Put them in colorful pots and bingo—you have even more color.
Embrace an interesting color palette with floor tiles that features some color.
Wallpaper is everywhere and is a straightforward way to add some color to a feature wall, a powder room, or the ceiling in the laundry room.
And speaking of laundry rooms, this a fun room to go wild with color and patterns. We don’t love doing laundry, so why not make the room fun and exciting?
One stand-out cabinet is a fun way to add a pop of color without painting all of the cabinets.
Want to keep it mostly neutral? Paint just the ceiling in a hue that complements the lighter wall color, but creates a bit of intrigue.
Not ready for much color? Paint the front door or garage, the inside of some bookshelves, or hang some colorful artwork.
Paint Colors for This Year
This year’s paint colors are filled with both subtle and dramatic hues. Repainting a room, kitchen cabinets, or a feature wall makes a big change without a great deal of effort, especially if you have someone paint it for you!
