3 Designer secrets about Color

"We not only play with style to evoke design greatness, we also manipulate space with color" Charmaine Wynter Design Principal Wynter Interiors Inc

Color is an extremely important and effective tool in an interior designers arsenal.  We often use bright, bold warm hues to make an object appear larger, or nearer.  We also use color to designate gender~ for instance to add a stronger masculine feel to the room pictured; we deepened the Orange paint applied to the walls. 

"Shades of spice and paprika were used to balance the black lacquer furnishing and strong Art Deco styled elements" Charmaine Wynter

Had we wanted to create a much more feminine feel we could use a less saturated Orange paint on the walls; in tints of coral, flesh tone or peach. Sakshi D. Kapoor
