| Abstract: |
The article focuses on how interior designers integrate color and concept when planning new spaces, highlighting that these elements are often interdependent rather than mutually exclusive. Several designers emphasize starting with the overall concept—such as mood, function, or client directives—to guide color choices, while others note that color can inspire or invigorate the design process. Examples include using fabric or wallcovering as a conceptual starting point, selecting hues to evoke specific feelings, or responding directly to client color preferences. The perspectives illustrate varied approaches to balancing color and concept in contemporary interior design. [Extracted from the article] |
