Homes & Gardens - Colors Interior Designers include in Every Project

Thank you Emily Moorman and Homes & Gardens for asking us what favorite color we use in every project… any guesses? Click here for the full article!

'It’s hard to pick just one color, but if I had to, I’d go with blue,' says Denver-based designer Nadia Watts. 'When I meet with clients, they often tell me they want their home to feel calm and peaceful. When I think of calm, I picture being by the lake or at the beach, breathing in that fresh air. Blue really captures that vibe for me.'

'I also love pairing it with green – it’s all about growth and renewal, which adds a refreshing, natural touch to a space. I tend to use these colors in almost every project because they not only inspire me but also reflect the kind of atmosphere I want to create – peaceful, connected to nature, and cozy with just the right amount of freshness,' says Nadia

'What I love most about this color is its versatility. It makes a statement without being overwhelming, bringing just the right amount of depth and personality to a space. It transforms a room, while still feeling inviting. It’s a color that works in so many ways, and I always find myself coming back to it,' says Nadia.
