Colour of Winter // Rouge Carmin

by Poppy in Colour of the Month, Interior Design 0 comments tags: Colour, crimson, dark red, Red, Winter

This season we're going for a wonderfully rich, festive colour. Rouge Carmin is the sort of colour that has big power, the sort of colour that it's impossible to shy away from, the sort of colour that just screams sultry winter evenings by the fire.

Kaufmann Desert House by Richard Neutra

This month, as with any, I am working on several projects that intend to effortlessly relate interior and exterior space in a fashion that reflect my clients' ideas, tastes, and intentions, whilst embodying the best of architectural design principles. These three factors of a strong inside/outside interconnection, a client-centric design process, and the intention to achieve the highest possible architectural standard seem such obvious, common elements of the architectural process that it's quite hard to imagine that they aren't always, and haven't always been at play together in the design of residential architecture.

When I think of summer I think of sunshine and greenery. I think of warm afternoons lazing on freshly cut green grass under the cool, dappled shade of the trees. I picture looking up through the bright green of leaves made translucent by the intensity of the sunlight toward the stark and endless blue sky. This green of these summer days is so inherently calming, invigorating and revitalising - there's not much to compare to it.
