Welcome to Home, Addressed! In this episode, we tackle defining what we call "core colors" and how to start creating a design plan for your next project. If you'd like to nerd out on learning about color, I highly recommend these books:
Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Exordinary Happiness by Ingrid Fetell Lee
Living with Color: Inspiration and How-Tos to Brighten Up Your Home by Rebecca Atwood
Here are the 3 takeaways from this episode:
1. Figure out your core colors (the colors you're most drawn to in inspiration photos, interior decor, and even from your closet). This will help you narrow down to using colors that most reflect you.
2. Figure out your "starting point" for the room—a focal piece of art or a rug—and let it guide your color palette. Be your own interior designer and create mood boards to see how items look together (Canva is a great resource for this). Take advantage of existing tools to play around and grow your confidence.
3. Make a list of everything you need in the space (include any professionals you'll need to hire) and start setting a budget for how much you want to spend. Schedule time to discuss with your partner so it stays high on the priority list.
