FEATURING OUR LOVE OF COLOR
LIVING IN COLOR
We were very excited to see the Seattle Design Center Designer Spotlight newsletter this week featuring Heather and Kirk Riley Design. Even more significant to us, though, than the feature, is being accepted into the SDC Find a Designer program. This is thrilling for us because if you have collaborated with us and looked for fabrics and furniture you know this is our hub. We love being able to work with the local showrooms located at the Seattle Design Center.
We love living in color! Good Housekeeping graciously featured Kirk Riley Design in three articles this last week - serendipitously these all featured our love of color. None of the projects featured were our newest, but they show that when you invest in the color you gravitate towards that is still the best way to go. We find a way to make the colors that you love work in your vintage home.
TIMELESS VINTAGE
This Good Housekeeping article takes a stroll down paint color memory lane. Find the vintage colors that are making a comeback. Green tones are especially big right now which also have a sentimental touch for Heather. Forest green and burgundy were her dad's favorites back in the '80s.
COLORFUL KITCHENS
Minimalism is out and colorful kitchens are in. Say good-bye to the whites and grays we've seen for years and hello to moody or bright hues that reflect your taste and personality. While colorful cabinets are very in, you can also add color with other elements such as your backsplash, countertops, or appliances.
COLORBLOCKING (NOT JUST FOR SWEATERS)
Want to make a big statement with your new paint colors? Try colorblocking. This can be done with a distinctive break between the upper and lower walls or by defining spaces within an open plan layout.
We hope you're able to enjoy and soak up this last month of summer.
