'I always find myself coming back to blues and greens when I want to create a sophisticated yet inviting space,' says Denver-based designer Nadia Watts. 'These colors are timeless – blue feels effortlessly elegant and calming, while green adds a fresh, natural element that brings life to a room.'
'To keep things interesting, I love incorporating pops of color like pink for an unexpected touch. Even in more neutral spaces, a bold accent can make all the difference. Another favorite of mine is using grasscloth wallpaper – it adds texture, depth, and just the right amount of character to make a space feel layered and refined,' says Nadia.

'When I think summer I think in reds, yellows, pinks, and oranges,' says interior designer Nadia Watts. 'Bright, saturated colors that remind me of the sunset over the lake; warm tones that evoke long summer days.'
For Nadia, summer color inspiration comes from the slower pace of life during these months, turning to nature and reflecting this indoors through vibrant, warm hues that feel uplifting.
'July brings a sense of freedom: school's out, work slows and family comes together. I am inspired by the slower pace of summer, it reminds me to take a moment to step back and appreciate the natural world around us. Pulling colors from nature has always been a special source for me, and what better time to do that than in the height of summer.'

'Celestial and metallic colors are in for summer,' observes interior designer Nadia Watts. 'Using metallics and striking colors is a great way to add dimensions and excitement to your space without having to redesign your entire space.'
'When you incorporate bold color, you can use it sparingly and still get a big “wow” factor. Already have a blue color story? Add a pop of metallic cobalt. Starting with a green scheme? Bring in a celestial citrine.'
'Layering color on color in different finishes creates depth and interest and elevates your color story throughout.'
