No matter how much I am exposed to opulence and traditional architecture and interiors, my heart always draws back to simplicity. Statements of silence and strength. Bringing the outside in. Balance, proportion, harmony. In addition, choosing a palette for a home is as simple as picking a handful of pebbles and sand from a beach in the Pacific Northwest. The colors are all there and it makes the heart and soul feel at home. Soft hues of blue and dove grey, bark and browns of washed ashore wood Warm camels and shades of taupe. That said, it is important to understand also that color and palettes are sensitive to the light and geographical region. Hot colors are well suited in desert and hot climate areas. Cool pastels in San Francisco and Cape Town. Natural earth tones and sandy hues in the Pacific Northwest, Provence and Spain. All in all, color is important. But first and foremost there must be balance and simplicity. And yes, Less is ALWAYS More!!
