Courage is not the absence of fear. Rather, courage is taking action when you are afraid.
So many people plan to paint the interior of their homes but never do because they are afraid. On the contrary, our happiest clients are the ones who were afraid and painted anyway. You'd be surprised at what wonderful color combinations emerge from courage!
Build up your courage by examining the different color combinations that are around you every day. You'll discover that there is no such thing as "colors that clash."
This windowless laundry room also doubles as an art studio. Courageous Color was needed to stimulate creativity as well as the desire to wash the clothes.
The result is a fun and energetic space. The major elements that pull this color design together include a color-blocked accent wall and 'eye-candy' items from IKEA, such as red wall cabinets and stackable stools in bright hues. Funky light fixtures, also from IKEA, cast a clear, bright light ensuring that tasks are easier to perform and all the colors in the space look crisp. The accent wall is the focal point and the perfect place for displaying artwork. Each block of color on the wall serves as a frame for each piece of work, which hang from clothespins.
I hope that this room will inspire you to embrace the interesting and courageous use of color to make your home uniquely yours. Be open to new ideas, don't follow old rules, and your space can turn out better than you ever thought it would.
