*Skittles!!!!!

by / Sunday, 13 November 2011 / Published in In The News - Design News that is!, INSPIRATION STATION, Market Place

We’re kicking this week off with an INSPIRATION CHALLENGE.  

 I challenged my interns to share some ideas of things that inspire them.  What I’ve found is that not only were the ideas awesome, but each were unique and are sure to inspire others.

So journey with us this week as Joly, Marissa, Imani, Brian and Caitlin share their topic of what resonated with them personally.

I wanted to see (not only what was inspiring to them, but) how they translated this inspiration into interior design.  So check us out and take a peak into these creative young minds.

First up, my inspiration!…….. Skittles!  Yes those sweet little candy coated chewy things that my kids love. Looking at them made me realize just how energetic color can be.  If you’re feeling less than energetic and need a stimulating environment, think of the colors in skittles. They are vibrant, dynamic and just plain fun!

Skittles colors were so prominent at the design center in Atlanta Georgia this summer and evident at the Highpoint market in North Carolina this fall.  If you’re not color shy these vibrant hues are fab.

GREAT PLACES FOR VIBRANT COLORS:

kids play room

Family room

Home office

Game room

Workout room

Sunroom

Places where you don’t mind being stimulated (or In other words) not the room where you meditate and need to unwind. 🙂

ACCESSORIES

These vibrant accessories are so skilltle-like and will add flavor and pizzaz to an otherwise tired space. Accessories are the best way to test drive vibrant colors, particularly if you’re a little color shy.

MARKET PLACE

The seatbelt chair

These colorful seatbelt dining chairs were a show stopper at the Highpoint market and are now available through YDP.
