Color Decoded: A Living Room That Celebrates the Joy of Color

Color Decoded: A Living Room That Celebrates the Joy of Color

Design journalist Amy Moorea Wong is an expert on color – she even wrote a book about it. To help decode the secrets behind a successful palette, she picks her favorite schemes and breaks them down – with help from the interior designers themselves.

If using bold color in the home can be said to be a brave act, then the designer of this space deserves a medal. Call off the hunt — this is where the vividity has been hiding. Stimulating the senses, the living room is a high-intensity celebration of can’t-go-any-higher saturation. I feel partly like I need to find my sunglasses, partly like this is where the action’s at and partly like I’m having a lucid dream. I know I’m not bored.

Electricity pulses through the room — colorful living room ideas at their best. Lime green. Acid yellow. Neon blue, if there’s such a shade. You can practically hear the power vibrating through the air. “The palette was inspired by the bold colours and energy of Venice Beach – graffiti, rollerblades, sunsets, amusements,” its creator, Jessica Ayromloo, owner of LA-based interior design practice Ayromloo Design, explains. “It feels alive and happy.”

These tones work as a team, so there’s no one area that jumps out first. “It’s holistic; the colors are arranged to complement and speak to each other in a way that creates balance,” says Jessica Ayromloo. “There’s also a sense of harmony and relaxation within the vibrancy.” The heaviest hue in the room, the sofa’s solid chunk of blueness, is supported sandwich-style by a duo of greens, the shade continuing to ripple throughout the space in smaller bites. No color appears only once; they’re all tied together down to the thinnest of upholstery piping, the artwork neatly narrating the entire thing.
