High Chroma Hues | Designing With Color

We're as guilty as the next guy for falling for the clean profile of a charcoal grey sofa, but the first day of fall has jewel tones dancing in our heads. A beautiful interior comes together like pieces of a puzzle, finding harmony and balance as each piece plays off one another. We love creating full, layered looks that display our clients favorite pieces paired with new additions, and finding new ways to achieve a warm and cohesive space is always at the top of our list.

A recent project with an open floor plan challenged our team to create a holistic look through four connected living spaces. We grounded the space with this rich emerald velvet sofa from Italy. It achieves the perfect pairing of retro elegance and sophisticated style that is at the heart of Weisshouse's aesthetic, and helped to lay the groundwork for the rest of our color palette.

Don't be afraid to treat your sofa as if it were a piece of art. Whether you're building a bold color

story, or adding a burst of color to a neutral palette, opting for high chroma furniture is a great way to create a one-of-a-kind space.

Just Announced: The Pantone Color of the Year is Marsala

There has been a lot of buzz around the announcement of Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year – Marsala.

This subdued hue seems a swift departure from last year’s Radiant Orchid or 2013s Emerald. Instead, Marsala offers a subtle warmth that serves as a hearty statement color for the chillier seasons. And while some have expressed some reservations about the color’s strength to weather Spring and Summer styles, we think that the welcoming red-brown is a bold accent that will make your pastels pop.

While exploring our floor, we found Marsala sprinkled throughout the showroom. Below is a sampling of our favorites in next year’s hot hue.

Clockwise from top: Floor Lamp, $545  |  Leman Chair, $1420  |  Inlay box, $250  |  Metropolitan Chair and Ottoman, $4854  |  Vintage Signed Silk Screen Print, $295

Neutral Decor With Pops of Color the Weissway

Neutral decor that includes large investment pieces thoughtfully chosen in warm earth tones or cool grays is always a wise investment. A well designed chair with great lines and bold color is a smart way to add interest to a muted palette. Bright artwork, accessories and pillows can also brighten a space beautifully. Check out a few of our favorite pops of color below.
