Bold British Use of Color

I just listened to an interview with Kit Kemp on The Business of Home that got me thinking about color. Namely, about how color makes people happy! I have always been attracted to bold rooms and can in fact pinpoint my first leap into designing when I painted my bedroom a vibrant coral color right before I went abroad in college. 

While you don’t want your home to feel like an acid trip as you move from room to room (or maybe you do??) — if you splash some brightness on the walls of specific rooms, the results are marvelous. 

No one does this better than the Brits. I am always enthralled by the effect.
