creative spaces {colour commentary}

Intriguing lights, mattress box spring inspiration boards, neon pink desks, pegboards, layers of design details…

Studios under the stairs or in attics, all white spaces with pops of colour, half walls of hue, huge blackboards, bins of supplies…

Supplies organized by colour in bins, shelves and stacks…

I really love studio spaces. Yep, I even have a Pinterest board devoted to them! How can you not love seeing the environments that inspire people, the supplies they use and all of the interior details that make a space one-of-a-kind? In my latest post for Rena Tom, I showcase studios and some of the facets that make them efficient and artful. Designer, accountant, candlestick maker — we all need a creative spot to call our own. Whether you build an entirely new studio or simply buy a desk chair you really love, the new year should include the creation of a space that truly inspires you. Take a peak at my post here if you are interested…

Love! Thank you so much – I’m settling into my new home/studio which is an all white ultramodern loft. My old house was super colourful and my things are all super colourful and I am really enjoying how it feels to have this big white space with pops of colour everywhere and these photos are giving me some great ideas – now I need a few giant chalkboards!

Just cleaning out my bedroom and looking to make it emptier and more colorful! Thanks for the inspiration! :)

I love the pops of color. I need to rethink my workspace! :)

The long Ikea table in the 9th photo… I have this dressing table and have searched for 3 years to find chairs that are the right height so that the table may be sat at (both standard table height & bar height seating don’t work). I would love some info on the origin of this photo!
