The Color Doctor can cure the white.

The challenge of creating an environment both restful and invigorating for the inhabitants is a primary concern. Using earth-tones and simple guides in response to client lifestyles helps design a harmonic space for interior activity. Adding texture and organic patterns can enhance the quality of ambient light.

White interiors are the choice of production contractors who know that because almost all light is reflected from a white surface that many wall imperfections will be hidden until an attempt is made to introduce color.  Even light mid-range tones can illuminate sloppy finish work. Fear of color may be a hangover of missionary origin or perhaps just fashion- economics as white is the most inexpensive paint regardless of finish.  Changing to color often means thinking about many other seemingly unrelated issues. I now apply my knowledge of commercially available coatings, composition, light and color interaction to interior spaces.

I like to add spectral dimension to plain interior spaces. Employing texture or contrasting finishes without colors can also enhance aesthetic qualities, creating feelings of intimacy and still conceal past repairs.
