fun decorating
azalea flower BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
“This feel-good pink is one of my favorites—it’s funloving and happy. Who wouldn’t want to hang out in this relaxing bedroom nook? To keep all the pink from veering too sweet, I toughened up the space with a slate gray ottoman and black-and-white carpet tiles.”
pumpkin patch “Bachelor pads tend to have muted palettes. But this guy picked orange for his living room—it’s a nod to his high school team’s colors. With walls this bold, you don’t want the furniture competing, so I chose barely there, minimalist shelves. The open backs really let the paint color shine.”

“Buttery yellow hit the right note in this bedroom. It’s not loud, but it’s not wimpy either. Partner it with white and blue for a classic combination. The three colors together create a drift-off-to-sleep vibe.” —Rebecca Toleno Van’t Hull, Martha O’Hara Interiors, Minneapolis, MN
