PointClickHome just posted a slideshow with lots of purple finds, including some of their favorite paint colors by Benjamin Moore. They didn’t highlight Passion Plum 2073-30 but I have to add that to the list because it’s a deep hue that is so rich and delicious…
I really like this cane coat stand from Red [...]
It’s March 17th , how can I not mention green today? For some inspiring rooms in this grassy hue don’t miss this. And below I have a few green (color not eco) products for you to enjoy!
Guide: 1. Green light frame, 2. atom art bowl, 3. kate spade pop clinton street stevie bag, 4. green [...]
Today I’m going with red for this edition of Color Me Monday. Red is highly emotional — heat, passion, fire, anger, power, love and hate. Because it’s a stimulant, red is best in the dining room if used on the wall, not as effective in the living room as it can inspire heated discussions amongst [...]
I feel like showing you a few pretty in pink finds today since I’m hoping that it will somehow rub off and turn cold New Hampshire into a warm Springy day. What do you think of when pink comes to mind? Little girls? Love and affection? Blushing brides? Cotton candy? Does it calm you down [...]
Fruit Stripe Brights is my theme for Color Me Monday this week. Not quite neon, not a pastel, we’re talking citrus pinks, oranges, and apple reds. Think glossy lips, flirty dresses and fresh feminine bedding for Spring. Colorful pillows for the sofa. Fabulous fabrics for reupholstering a worn out chair. Here’s a colorful collection of [...]
Sometimes I surprise myself. I have nothing against Pottery Barn, but there isn’t much that they’ve offered in the past that grabbed me. Same goes for Crate and Barrel, West Elm, and the other chains that fall into this category that I call mainstream decorating stores. They appeal to the masses, but for those of [...]
Fresh, energetic, natural, productive, green! Green has long been associated with many positives. It can mean brand new or renewed. Maybe you have a green thumb meaning that you’re good with plants. Green is also another word for cash so when you have a little extra green in your wallet that’s a positive. Going green [...]
Many know about Pantone, the mega color standards company who unveils color forecasts for each season — today their Fall ‘08 forecast was released to the public on their website. I always download mine and print it out in color so it’s handy. It’s important for all designers to preview the next it colors - [...]

Ah, good ol? brown. Woodsy, earthy, dependable. It?s not actually a spectral hue, but a dark version of orange. All the same, rustic, wholesome brown is a staple in interior design and deserves its moment of glory.

I really enjoy writing Take Five Tuesdays so I’ve decided to keep it going for the rest of 2008 and to add a fun column to run on Mondays called Color Me Monday. This one will be themed around a specific color or a palette that I’m currently inspired by showcasing things that I like [...]
“Back in Black”By Rachel Perls of Hue Consulting, decor8 guest writer
Fall is finally here; our palette has turned to deep, rich, autumnal colors. With the colder weather approaching, we move indoors, looking forward to making our spaces warm and cozy for the months ahead. Light, airy whites and pastels are tucked away in storage, [...]
If white hasn’t inspired you yet, I pulled together this set featuring 285 of my favorite mostly white photos for your enjoyment. I think it will do the trick! From products to rooms, animals to nature, I think you’ll like clicking through these gorgeous images. All of them have been featured on decor8 at one [...]
Let’s continue the theme of white for a moment with a glimpse into the properties offered to the film and photography industry by The Beach Studios in the UK. They have some of the most outstanding real estate where white is the “it” color and quite heavenly.
I enjoy looking at spare spaces, especially since I’m [...]

White is the color of whipped cream and popcorn, of fresh snow and fluffy clouds. It is the presence of all colors in light, but the absence of color in pigment. White has the vibrancy to rival the brightest hues, so should not be considered a neutral. [...]
Rachel Perls, our visiting color expert from Hue Consulting, is back to talk about the decor8 color of the month: Purple!
I have to admit, it was hard for me to select purple because I’m not drawn to it and actually own nothing violet in my home or closet. I think that if there’s one thing [...]

Fellow blogger and Color Consultant Rachel Perls, is back today (she checks in mid-month) to talk about the color of the month: YELLOW! Take it away, Rachel…
Yay, spring is here! I always know spring has arrived when yellow flowers begin to bloom. Yellow is one of the first colors to arrive after nature?s hibernation through [...]
I wrote about Zara Home this time last year, and despite how it pains me that their home stores aren’t in the states (yet), I’m thrilled to at least catch a glimpse of their catalog online because the images are gorgeous and packed with styling ideas. Plus, there’s a lot of things I see that [...]
Yeah! decor8 reader Ellen is so inspired by the color green that she had to paint her living room in this fantastic shade… Here’s her note and photos.
“I recently bought a home in Salt Lake City and decided to paint my living room green! It’s an old home, built in 1928. The living room has [...]
