Design Crush-Kelly Wearstler






"Living without color is like living without love."
Kelly Wearstler
 Her bold, bright, and graphic designs shout 'wow' and have elevated Kelly Wearstler to a design stand out for many. Her use of light, shadow and depth is brilliant. Every space has a touch of whimsy to ease the formality of historical and classic furnishings. Unexpected elements created balance and interest.  Rather than asking 'why' Kelly Wearstler seems to ask 'why not?'



Bold, bright graphic colors 






Combining unusual colors and patterns












Textural elements are strong in neutral palettes. Even the shadow play of large, architectural objects becomes essential to the scheme.








Fresh color combinations add visual interest.









A touch of gold and shine adds warmth to the space.



Global chic and the touch of unexpected are big themes.

That is so true, Shelly. I find that when I am the most comfortable injecting wild color is when I'm in a good space. Believe me, I love my soothing neutral palettes as well. Color is a good thing! The quote is perfect. I so agree. How is the move going? It's always SO much....thinking of you.
