Lexi Small Sconce from Cedar & Moss
“Those looking to add a fun pop of color but don’t want to commit to an installed, harder-to-change material should look at light fixtures. There are so many fun options on the market these days but these playful sconces with their perforated shade instantly add interest to any design.” cedarandmoss.com
Emerald Quartzite from Artistic Tile
“Countertops are easily my favorite way to add a pop of color! I love that more colorful natural stones are making a comeback. Clients have been loving this emerald quartzite and while it is a definite color, in the PNW, this beautiful green is almost a neutral.” artistictile.com
Bobbin D-Bar Pull from Plank Hardware
“Hardware is like the final jewelry piece of any design. It completes the space and adds that finishing pop of character. Think outside of the box and look at something like this unexpected profile – in color, of course!” us.plankhardware.com
Bird & Pomegranate Wallcovering from Morris & Co.
“I love putting wallpaper in a pantry or a powder room – a tiny space that if done right can handle dramatic, bold, colorful patterns. Adding wallpaper to these areas is unexpected and can really make an impression.” wmorrisandco.com Design: The Northwest Home Photo credit: AJ Meeker
Ping Tile from Tempest Tileworks
“One of the best ways to make a visual impact in a space is a fun, unique wall tile. Either with an unexpected layout or color, it can really make your space unique and personal, especially if you have a more subtle countertop. These handmade tiles have such a fun design, come in an array of colors and can be arranged in a bunch of different patterns for a truly custom look,” said Erica Leader. tempesttileworks.com
