Best of the Brightest: Vibrant Looks for the 首页

Boston’s interior designers 和 industry professionals are using bold color (和 lots of it!) in creative looks for the home. From broad swaths of look-at-me tones to bright white spaces that crackle with coral or pop with turquoise, top minds in home décor 和 design are expressing their clients’ style with panache. Since the joie de vivre in these homes is contagious, we thought we'd pass along the good cheer....

Tangerine Dream

This lively bedroom by 卡特 & 公司 室内设计 eschews sleepy, serene hues for a compelling mix of fuchsia, orange 和 downy white. The color spectrum of the room flows from ceiling to floor; tangerine, used as a solid on the headboard 和 in chain-linked b和s on the wall covering, transitions to a punchy pink on the carpet 和 bedside benches. Both tones meet in the middle for a delicious segue on the throw pillows, art 和 window treatment.

整洁的角落

Interior design by Heather Vaughan 室内设计

We love the energy 和 optimism of this sunny, eat-in nook by Heather Vaughan 室内设计. Overlooking the trees, this jubilant space plays with color 和 form—from the multicolored banquettes with asymmetrical backs, 脆脆的, patterned valance to the shapely legs of the table 和 bench seating. The stark white elements, like the tabletop 和 butter-soft chairs, together with Benjamin Moore’s Grape Green paint on the walls, make the space pop that much more, 和 we're certainly crushing on that orange ch和elier that pulls it all together. 

蓝色的感觉

Draperies 和 pillows by Carole Bruce Workroom; interior design by Liz Caan & Co.

Interior designer Liz Caan uses a lustrous, Caribbean blue as the backdrop for a comfortable family room that looks smashing with the tawny tones of the leather sofa 和 rug. Here, the saturated color stretches clear to ceiling (even on the molding). 卡罗尔·布鲁斯 Carole Bruce Workroom picked up on the lustrous tone in the Greek key trim of the draperies 和 on the upholstery of colorful pillows. 

湖泊效应

This turquoise 和 lime green bunkroom atop a Squam Lake garage by LDa Architecture & 设计 由 Denali Construction Corporation leaves guests of all ages clambering for a spot within this feel-good lair. The interior design of this space was driven by its flooring: a navigational map of Squam Lake 和 the isl和s (an oversized decal mounted onto plywood) 和 the client’s idea. With its cubbies, built-in drawers 和 reading lamps, the hideout is as functional as it is fun, 和, much like the lake itself, alternately peaceful 和 spirited.
