Make Magic Happen When You are Fearless with Color

You can Make Magic Happen When You are Fearless with Color

Being fearless with color can lead to incredible transformations in your home. Embrace colors, and you’ll be amazed at the transformation they can bring to the energy of your space.

Fear of getting it wrong often leads us to stick to safe options like white, gray, or beige. But here’s the thing:

  1. Start Small: Test a bold color on a small wall or piece of furniture. It’s less commitment and gives you a feel for how the color works in your space.

  2. Sample First: Before you commit, paint a small patch on paper that you can move around and look at in different lighting throughout the day.

  3. Ask for Help: A color consultation with a professional color strategist can save you a lot of time and money and help you get it right the first time. 

  4. Trust Your Instincts: If a color makes you happy, chances are you will love the energy of the room every time you spend time there.

  5. It’s Just Paint: Worst case scenario – you don’t like the result. It’s okay. You can always repaint.

Color is an opportunity to express yourself. Don’t let fear hold you back from creating a home that feels like you.

FEAR

Color Brings Joy

Your home should be a place that brings joy, and color is a powerful tool to create that feeling. Embrace the fear and go for it.

I am not saying that your walls should be wild and colorful, although that would be cool!

Lose the Fear

Color should reflect what you love. Why let fear hold you back from exploring  new things? 

Take the fear and uncertainty out of picking paint colors by relying on color science, rather than just using your eyes.

We all see things a little differently due to our vision. If we measure color and use color data, as well as our eyes, we can remove the guesswork, risk and fear.

Color science helps determine what colors work together perfectly because of their hue, chroma and values. Science helps solve color issues related to the light in your particular house. It brings your color to the level of extraordinary.

Are you ready to let go of fear? Think of how good you will feel to have extraordinary color in your home.

Aligned Design

My philosophy of Aligned Design, aligns art, science and energy in your space. The intersection of the three is where the magic happens.

When your space is better, you are better.
When you are better, the world is better. 

Aligning art, science and energy to make magic happen in your home and life.
My philosophy- Aligned Design.

 

Your home is like your body, a system that works together to be healthy.

Start with an Aligned Design consultation to create a holistic plan to create your perfect space.

Imagine what that would feel like.
