THESE PEOPLE LIKE COLOR

There's a design firm, Cullman and Kravis. They're the more "Park Avenue" type of designers-- more formal and maybe less eclectic than I prefer.

But, Elissa Cullman has always had an eye for enlivening color. On those grounds alone, I like to browse. A few rooms from different houses in the Cullman and Kravis portfolio:

This bedroom reminds me of the serene, pale celery bedroom that Lee Radziwill made famous. Nice harmonious coupling with lavender too--

Bold Americana in a country house--

I do remember where this living room was from-- Miami. Where else!

It isn't just color that makes the rooms, of course. Look at that cool, ridged lacquered and upholstered bench in the foreground of this living room, such a striking piece.

Would you call these bedroom walls "light salmon"? Pale terra cotta?

Red in this rustic kitchen is punchy!

There's hardly any color in this entrance to what looks like a "posh", New York-type apartment. But it's used so strategically, the whole space has a kind of dramatic impact.

Ditto in this creamy living room-- just a few sparks of a color, in the form of a creamy tangerine, draw you in...

I love color but this is overload.

@Bonkers1 - Agree!

I had a red kitchen and dining area once. I didn't choose it - it's just what was there. I ended up loving it, but I wouldn't choose it.

Thanks @Oznell for sharing the pictures.

I love the color aspect of these designers but, in most cases, I also prefer a bit more textured accessories with print to add visual interest. Not so much that it's visual overload but most of these rooms could use a little more.

@Oznell Now you talking!!!!! I love high ceilings & colorful decor homes.

The red & black kitchen are the same colors as my bedroom. My father always said (to everyone w/in ear shot) my bedroom looks like bedrooms inside a bordello.

My father died at the age of 92 & in all that time I never asked him how did he know what the bedrooms of a bordello look like?

Salmon or terra cotta? Not sure but I like it! Tanks for the tour.

The last 2 rooms are OK for me but I know I would get very tired of looking at all that braight color after about 2 weeks if any of these rooms were in my home.

The last three photos are ok to me, as well as the patio with the colorful throw pillows. I would probably tire quickly though of a Red kitchen, but I remember when they were popular.. I like color, but in small doses!!!

Oh these photos are right up my ally! I LOVE color. My house is basically cottage white with pops of color throughout!

I like the colors and the way it cheers up the rooms, makes you happy to be in the rooms.

However, I do not like the 1st picture magazine cover of the all blue. That is way to much of the same color.

Color is a must have for me in every room of my home. I love red, navy, yellow, and sage green.

I like the light salmon/terra cotta bedroom, the red kitchen and the last living room pic.

The others are quite too colorful for me.

For the most part I do like the colors in these rooms. I especially like the bedroom with the lavender touch! The living room with the tangerine pillows is also lovely as is the salmon colored bedroom.

Thank you for your always interesting and fun post @Oznell

That celery bedroom quietly says "luxurious". Elegant yet welcoming. That beautiful chandelier! As Rachel Zoe would say "I die!" Colors I would never think to put together but they definitely work!

I also love the salmon bedroom except for the chandelier which I would replace.

Third favorite is the kitchen with splashes of red.

I love color, and I like these rooms. They're from different homes, so I don't know if the owners carry that theme in every room. I also like the accent wall.
