'Design Star' was incredible, and I didn't think it could get any better, and then 'Color Splash' happened.
I just don't think there are any rules to color. You have a small space with no windows? Put lamps in there, make it dramatic, paint the ceiling black. Do something with it. If it's dark, accentuate the darkness.
Technology is making design more exciting, with color, wallpaper, textures, fabrics that could never have been created without the technology.
We've been in a war and a recession. That's why acccent colors with yellow and purple are popular. They're optimistic and flirty and happy colors.
