Managing bold colors
With neither a strong preference for color nor decorating with neutrals, Melissa often begins with a simple ratio: one neutral room for every room that’s saturated in color.
'One sort of fail-proof method that we have found that does seem to really have a place for the vast majority of our clients is the balance of one room of neutrality for every room that we saturate in color,' she explains.
'For every moment of wow-bam-hello color, we have a space that gives a moment of rest – almost like the argument for negative space in both art & writing – allowing a moment to regain your breath and surroundings.'
