My Colortopia: Colorful Before & Afters

One of the very first things I think about when designing a room is color. Most of the time, I start with a neutral palate, like a slate grey, and add bright accompanying colors. Even when I'm looking to make a few quick changes in a room, the first thing I begin with is the color. 

Take our slate room for example. All it took was a coat or twelve of grey paint on the walls to completely change the entire room!
