I totally agree! Anything from the natural world will always be beautiful in my book♥️ Some of the associations with travertine are really unfortunate, and I think it was just used in a trendy way that people still associate it with. I'm hoping the same doesn't happen with the current trend of marble backsplashes and door casings that we are seeing! All stone is stunning in its own way and I'm so glad we have so many options to choose from☺️
Thank you for being so clear in explaining the colour design concept - the best I have heard since trawling through videos and books. Your example in showing how you design the bedroom finally got my head around the process. You have a follower.
Thank you!♥️ I'm so glad that it was helpful! It took me a while to fully grasp it myself, but it was like a lightbulb went off when I finally got it down. Please let me know if there is ever any other topic you'd like me to cover☺️
Hello from Germany🙋♀. Thank you so much for this very interesting video, It was so helpful for me, because i have always problems with color combination in my home.😍
wow great information, it is very important to know about colours, colours combiantion for having an amazing palette whe you are going to creat a stunning decoration. thanks for the information.
Thank you for the informative video, it's very helpful! I'm wondering if you could address how best to deal with exterior light exposure and landscape reflections that mess with the interior colours.
That's a great question!!! ☺️ The answer can differ a little depending the colors you're using and the direction that the windows face. In general (for the Northern Hemisphere): -Northern Windows (cooler, softer light): balance with lighter, warmer colors, and incorporate ample artificial light -Eastern Windows (warmer, softer light): opt for lighter colors to maintain the light throughout the day, plus artificial lighting -Southern Windows (warmer, bright light): balance with cooler colors, or neutrals that are less reflective and more muted -Western Windows (warmer, harsh (evening) light): cooler and darker tones can help balance the intensity, but you'll still want ample artificial light for the mornings As for landscape considerations, I would balance the color of the light being reflected (i.e. green from the grass, blue from a lake, red from your neighbor's brick, etc.) with colors that have tints/shades of it's complementing color. For example, a Eastern facing room on a river in the forest is going to have a softer blue-ish/greenish light reflected on the walls. If you were using a white paint, I would opt for one that has more of a orange-red undertone with a higher LRV (Light Reflective Value), being careful not to go to red-orange due to the light changing throughout the seasons. I would definitely suggest sampling colors and fabric swatches at different times of the day and at various places throughout the room, to determine how light-exposure will effect the room overall prior to painting or selecting furniture. I could definitely make a whole video on this this topic alone, because it is so nuanced and can be very difficult to determine the color of the light coming in. I may just have to make that video, now! Thank you so much for this question!♥️
@@theclaytorhouse thanks, a video on the subject is what I am hoping for! I used Benjamin Moore 'Gentle Cream' to offset my western exposure and forest reflections. The reddish undertone and LRV work to offset the green but my living room is now a bit dark and dull overall (LRV 72).
‘Gentle Cream’ was a great choice for balancing those green reflections, but if the room feels a bit dark, there are a couple of options to brighten it up without losing that balanced, cozy feel. If you’re open to painting again, you could try a lighter color with a higher LRV, like Benjamin Moore’s ‘Navajo White’ (LRV 78) or Sherwin Williams’ ‘Alabaster’ (LRV 82). Both would help add more light while maintaining warmth. I’d recommend sampling a few swatches throughout the room(s) to see how they work with your natural light and reflections throughout the day. If you’d rather not repaint, consider adding more light with layered lighting (lamps, sconces, etc.) or by bringing in lighter, more reflective decor, like mirrors or light-toned textiles, which can help brighten the space without changing the wall color. I hope this helps, and thanks again for the fantastic question! I’ll definitely be exploring this more in a future video! ♥️
@@jamielynne-magney2574 Hi! Yes, the brown paint with the violet undertones that I used was Black Fox by Sherwin Williams. Great catch! I totally should have shared that. I’ll be posting a makeover of that space soon and will make sure to share all of the details for that☺️
Yes, it really does depend on the style and the mood you're trying to achieve. A more maximalist or eclectic style would lend itself to a larger palette, while a more minimalist or modern space would likely be more paired back. In general, I tend to like working with 2 or 3 colors and then building out my palette with neutrals around those.
I would never get rid of that travertine. I think it's nice. Maybe controversial, but I like it more than carrara marble. The all marble everything is really starting to bore me.
@@jelatinosa I so agree!! While I do love marble, I would love to see some other materials have their moment. I’m more of a soapstone person myself, and I (controversially) am not shy when it comes to my love of granite. I hated the travertine until we replaced our floors, and then painting the mantel made me love it even more!😍

Travertine is gorgeous & timeless. Stone is never dated.

Great! And may I suggest posting the name/brand of paint when providing examples. I.e. the dark color with yellow undertone

When creating a color palette, how many colors are too few/too many? Does it depend on the style, mood, etc.?
Yes, it really does depend on the style and the mood you're trying to achieve.
