Mindful Minimal!

You’re the sort of person who pays attention with respect, which is one of your highest values. When your environment is peaceful, you thrive. You’re sensitive to social cues and body language, while being aware of the effect you have on people.

At the same time, your healthy dose of courage means that you’re not afraid to question the norm when you see things as unfair. Focusing intensely is never a problem for you.

Your Home Color Palette includes includes soothing neutrals that are borrowed directly from Mother Nature.

With names like Rainstorm, Sea Salt, and Porcini, you’ll feel very grounded when you use these colors. Stoneware joins Sea Salt and Porcini for the trio of warm neutrals, while cool grays Perspective, Rainstorm and After Midnight bring balance. White is white is white, and it’s as necessary in your decor as the air you breathe.

Stormy skies, earthy darks and off-whites, your palette colors could go on any wall or trim, setting the scene for a landscape of textures.

Here’s one way you can use four of the colors in your palette: White on the walls, Perspective on the trim, Rainstorm on the front door and Porcini on the interior door.

You don’t need to use all of the colors at once. A good general guideline is to choose two or three colors per room, with at least one of them being a neutral, like White or Stoneware.

But this is just one idea. In the next email, I’ll show you another variation of your palette in the same space.

When I was a kid, my parents were really into interior design. I used to play with their drafting tools and I drew tons of imaginary floor plans. It’s no surprise that I became an interior designer.

What my parents were doing on a much deeper level was really creating a sanctuary for our family. Through interior design, they crafted rooms that intentionally made us feel at home. No matter what happened at school, I knew that my home (and my mom) were there to welcome me back.  

That’s what I want to do for others--help them create their own sanctuaries where they feel totally at home, no matter what. That’s why I’m an interior designer.

I created this Mindful Minimal furnishings concept just for you, as an example companion to your palette. I think it would make a beautiful first impression in a foyer.

The rug includes all of the colors; it literally grounds the space. From there, everything else relates to each other by shape, color and line, which I think is the essence of “style”. Black and white create balance here, with accents of dark blue and pillows that bring in texture and reflect back to the rug.

I offer the collection as design inspiration for you, from my imagination to yours. How would you adapt it for your own home?
