Brilliant Orange: Reading Nook

Design: PAUL SEMKULEY; Photography: LISA PETROLE

This clean and bright orange wall makes a statement in this reading nook, which features a contrasting modern white bookshelf and a white square ottoman. The orange pulls out the brilliant tones in book spines and décor from the bookshelf while also grounding the space in warm tones that match the shiny dark hardwood.

Accent Yellow: Kitchen

Design: REBECCA HAY Photography: STEPHANI BUCHMAN

Let’s face it, yellow is the sunniest of summer hues and can quickly liven up a space just like it does here with illuminating yellow accent barstools, a bright yellow kettle, and decorative flowers in this radiantly colorful kitchen. The yellow tones balance out the whiteness of the space, and the medium hardwood-look floors and blue cabinets help to give the room a grounding point.

Champagne Gold: Office

Bathrooms can be the perfect spaces to let in natural light with airy windows and custom skylights. The design of this bathroom capitalizes on this bright trend with a tranquil splash of purple pastel via the lavender cabinets and delicate marble-veined flooring.
