I’m Craving Color!

March 18, 2021

I’m focusing on color in a big way — color combinations I never would have entertained…pastels, neons, you name it. I’m into a color salad –with extra dressing! Whether we’re talking fashion or furnishings, a pop of color makes drab into dazzling.

Actually, this color craving is a phenomenon that happens about this time every spring. It’s a “bust-out” craze that can be dangerous…if you’re not in control of your palette. But since we’re all emerging from an extraordinarily colorless year, I say we deserve to go a little wild with our paint brushes.

Let’s meet at the new Hotel Deux Gares, (2, rue des Deux Gares 75010 Paris-France) and take some notes on exactly what colors go where and why and the effect they have on our serotonin levels!

And right across the pond, look what The Queen is doing to get herself through “the interview.”

Back on this side of the world, the queen of color, Cathy Lancaster, is launching her new paper works show on March 25th. Put that date on your calendar because I guarantee you, the color wheel will be spinning! (http://blog.ayresinteriors.com/cathy-lancaster-is-a-force/).

While we’re thinking COLOR, take comfort in knowing that you don’t have to start over from scratch in your interior daydreams. Just add hits of color like you do your favorite spices to a recipe — artwork, pillows, painted walls, throws, rugs on carpeting, vases and flowers.

Display your necklaces in a bowl; open some bright art books on the coffee table; bunch some flowering pots on the kitchen sill. Get that color back into your life and into your cheeks!
