A Space Filled With "Energy, Tension, and Hardcore Impact" — Here's How This Geometric Masterpiece of Color Works

A modern living space with bright colours and a colour drenched area to the right, where the dining area is. There are floor to ceiling curtains on the left hand wall and a cream sofa facing the fireplace. .

Design journalist and author Amy Moorea Wong is an expert on color in interior design. To help decode the secrets behind a successful palette, she picks her favorite schemes and breaks them down, from the wow moments to the hidden details, and everything in between.

Color in interiors is rarely so neatly presented, yet here we are being handed precise, geometric cut-outs of it on a platter. Decorating with color has never looked so good. A piece of cobalt, anyone? A slice of burgundy? Paired with such a bright, almost forceful white, the hues seem similarly stark, the highly defined edges in the curves of the electric orange chair, the lines of the yellow stool (see it?) and the segmented colorful sections of the rug, as well as the painted surfaces making them seem like elements of the room that could be taken away, swapped in or out like pieces of a puzzle, at a moment’s notice.
