Maybe it’s because all I see at the stores are shamrocks and leprechauns? Green for a way to go bold for interior rooms. Green can be soft and calming or it can be loud and demand attention. Take a look at the interior spaces at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, designed by the ever so bold interior designer, Kelly Wearstler. She was successful because she chose one main element to be a saturated green hue. In the first picture just the chairs are green, not the walls and the chairs or the art and the chairs. This is why it works. The second photo hi-lights a rich green sofa as a focal point. There is a hint of green in the rug, but that’s it. Lastly, my favorite she covered the restroom is green subway tiles, but no where else can you find green. Usually the rule is repeat any color in a space at least three times. However, you can break this rule when it comes to showcasing one bold hue. If you want to incorporate a bold element in your room it does not have to be green, it can be any color that excites you :)

How to Redefine your space:

1. Choose a bold color that excites you!
And,
2. Break the rules and apply it to ONE element in the space: a chair, a table, the walls, cabinets, etc.

I have been a follower of Bethenny since she appeared on the Martha Stewart Apprentice. She has a great sense of style on a tight budget. Bethenny purchased her new apartment in Tribeca, NY last August. Recently the new season of Bethenny Ever After aired, sharing her new pricey pad. I can't wait to see how they spruce it up. I do hope that she stays true to her thrifty stylish ways, eventhough, I know she doesn't have to :) Take a look at the new house...soon to be home!

I have encountered this problem in my own home. I could never understand why the builder put our thermostat in the middle of our wall? I have thought of having it relocated, but after seeing this article I have found my solution :)
