Posh Palettes Presentation Panel: Fiery Sunset

“The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color.”

~Hans Hoffman

Today I’d like to introduce the Posh Palettes Presentation Panel.  Every design project that I undertake begins with an inspiration board.  After an initial meeting with the client, I set about pulling together fabric, wallpaper, trims and other objects that will set the mood for the space.  Just as importantly, my goal is for the Presentation Panel to evoke an emotional response from the client.  Each board is reflective not only of my vision for the design of the space, but of the personality of the people who will be living in that space.

Fiery Sunset inspiration board

I put together this Presentation Panel for the living room of a waterside condo.  The orange and poppy colors are pulled directly from nature and the stunning sunsets that are visible from several rooms in the home.  The woman who lives here is an artist, loves travel and the beach and has a flair for glamour.  As a designer, it is my job to integrate all of these elements into the space and it  begins with the inspiration board.

While all elements on a board won't make it into the final design, they contribute to the mood of the space

The vibrant sunset colors are luxurious but not fluorescent.  The fabrics are tactile and lush despite being used in a contemporary design.

Textures abound on this Presentation Panel

In the before shot of the living room, you can see that the space lacks definition. 

To address this problem, we created two partial walls that serve to define the room while still leaving it open to the rest of the space.

The orange and poppy colors are juicy, vibrant colors, that provide punch  in the space.  These “pop” colors are set against a neutral, sand colored background. The net result is  to ground the space visually with the sand colored sofa and carpet. This strategy also makes it far more practical should the homeowner wish to change the room in the future.  Swapping out pillows and accent pieces?  Easy, breezy.  Re-upholstering a sofa?  Much more involved–though I’d be more than happy to oblige!

The neutral background sets off a striking side chair

Finally, in this shot we can see a glimpse of the outdoor space that is visible from the living room.  The colors of the blooms outdoors have been carefully coordinated with the design inside the home.  Carrying the orange and poppy scheme beyond the room and into the adjoining outdoor space creates a seamless and beautiful transition.  A perfect illustration that even what’s outside your windows counts in interior design.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this peek at a Posh Palette Presentation Panel!
