In the sweltering days of summer, bringing bright colors indoors can let you enjoy the sunny mood of the season without sweating it out in the heat. But, pulling together colors that have a distinct look and feel to create a cohesive design can be overwhelming.
To help you get started, we sat down with Jen Sypeck of Home Decorator’s Collection, an exclusive brand of home furnishings, rugs, décor and more available at The Home Depot. Jen gave us the scoop on inspiration for a sunny interior with her lively mood board, Pastel Brights.
How would you describe the Pastel Brights mood board?
This board combines transitional silhouettes with a bright pastel palette to create an upbeat atmosphere, perfect for summertime living. Buttercup walls, bright floral arrangements and décor paired with contrasting white bookcases create a light hearted space.
What inspired this mood board?
From the floral bouquets found in the spring farmer’s market to the shares of blues reflective of summer water life, this uplifting palette was inspired by the explosion of color that happens in the spring and summer season.
Which item is the most versatile?
The Fulham Sofa is the most versatile. The curves soften the overall modern design and the exposed tapered legs create a clean look that plays well with other styles. The neutral upholstery makes it easy customers to personalize it with pillows, throws and décor.
What’s your favorite item on the mood board?
It would have to be the Gold Leaf Sole Mirror. This vintage mirror featuring a dramatic sunburst checks a lot of boxes for me. Anyone who knows me knows I’m crazy for gold! Plus its vintage inspired—reminds me of a mirror my grandmother had when I was growing up.
What item on the board stands out as a growing trend?
Taking a classic item, like a garden chair, and offering it in fun colors is big right now. It gives the piece a fresh new perspective. I think our Garden Counter Stool’s fun, vintage look is a great example of this trend.
