COLOR EFFICIENCY & TRENDS
N
ot everyone is a designer, but
our design instincts allow us
the opportunity to renovate our house
or apartment. Choosing color is an
exciting process (and a crucial one),
as color can be used as a means to
represent our personality and as a
predictor of our daily mood. With
over 10 million colors existing today,
picking what suits us and our home
best can easily become a tedious
task rather than an uplifting activity.
Though applying color at its essence
is a rather simple concept, working
with a color consultant inside your
home can help to alleviate that
particular stressor, and bring the joy
back to finding the right shade.
Equally as important is the brand
of paint one chooses, not only for its
quality but the brand's focus toward
less toxic and environmentally
friendly colors. The best way to
ensure the job isn't done poorly is to
select a brand that is durable and will
hold up. (After all, there's nothing
worse than a bad paint job!) Recently,
we spoke with Erica Silberman,
Manager at Farrow & Ball's Flatiron
location, and over the years, she
has developed a keen eye for color.
Having conducted many color
consultations herself, Silberman also
emphasized the importance of
using a quality brand.
