Punctuating with Paint!
I recently found a mural by @Liz_Kamarul on Sazerac Stitches door that I just loved, which got me thinking about paint and color. For someone who loves the drama of black and white palettes, I sure do obsess over color!
Punctuating with light and color on buildings’ exteriors is not a new concept, but punctuating with light and color on the interior is making its debut in a unique way.
Let’s take a step back.
How do we, as architects, punctuate with light and color on buildings’ exteriors?
Examples range from painting the front door a bright color, drawing your eye towards the building’s entrance to up-lighting columns for depth and drama.
How are designers using paint to punctuate on the interior?
In a world where we take photos of everything, it’s important for businesses to create “instagrammable” moments, drawing customers inside.
Designers are finding unique ways to make a big impact in an affordable way: paint!
Murals are popular on exteriors and interiors!
Are murals the new wallpaper? Possibly! In this example on the left, the artist’s color palette and design is completely unique and matches the lighting brand’s chandelier.
