elcome to the Inspired Home Color issue! Color Matters. Color impacts our lives and plays a vital role in the world in which we live. Color can sway our thinking, change a course of action and cause us to react. It soothes, irritates and even affects our body in physical ways from lowering and raising blood pressure to changing our appetites. Color communicates. Consider the importance of the universal importance of color in a simple stoplight. Red means “stop” and green means “go!” Colors used in products, business logos or websites can cause powerful reactions. Color fosters harmony. In the design industry, color becomes an essential tool for interior designers to convey their client’s personality by creating a unique and memorable presence in their home. In a business office, it has the power to excite and empower or to calm and promote restfulness. The language of color is indeed powerful and in this issue we set out to explore that notion from the paint on our walls to the stunning color of a natural gemstone. Summer is the busy season for us northerners. We at Inspired Home, encourage you to sit back, take a moment to relax and revel in the color that surrounds you. Absorb the vibrant colors nature has to offer you from flower gardens to the verdant greens of the trees that line our city streets. Enjoy the Color issue!
