BE BOLD: GET YOUR COLOUR ON

- BY NATASHA GONZALEZ AND THE ETHAN ALLEN DESIGN TEAM

As an entreprene­ur, you’re putting your own stamp on the world and doing things your way. Your work persona? Independen­t. Trailblaze­r. Risk taker.

Why not be just as adventurou­s in your personal space? With colour, it’s easy to add your personal brand to any room. Energize any room, or set a serene mood, depending on your vibe.

If this is your first step beyond beige, don’t worry: An Ethan Allen designer can help. We can meet you during Design Centre hours, after hours by appointmen­t, or in your home or office; whatever’s convenient for you.

Here are some more tips, straight from our designers, for adding colour to your spaces:

OH, YOU BEAUTIFUL WALL

Paint an accent wall: It’s an easy, cost-effective way to create a focal point. A colour a few shades darker than the rest of the walls is ideal.

FLUFF IT UP

Pillows work colour magic in any room. They provide pop like nothing else, so be bold with prints, patterns and embellishm­ents.

COMING UP ROSES. AND PEONIES. AND ORCHIDS.

No time (or budget) for fresh buds every day? A well-done faux flower arrangemen­t is like a boutonnier­e for any coffee table or console.

LOOK DOWN

A simple trick: Place neutral furnishing­s on and around a colourful, statement-making rug. The contrast will delight you.

PERSONAL. BY DESIGN.

Are you thinking of redoing a space or starting from scratch? Small office? Entire house? Our designers will listen to your ideas, provide a floor plan, create a 3D walk-through preview, and so much more – their service is always compliment­ary.

Be just as bold in life as you are in business. Add some colour commentary to your space.
