Viva La Vie: Pigment of Imagination

By Kimberly Miller - November 5, 2009

Knock, knock.

Who’s there?

Orange.

Orange who?

Orange you glad you can see?

As in, the rainbow of colors passionately infused into the world of interiors by design icon Kelly Wearstler. The interior designer catapulted to fame thanks to her throwback to ’60s mod in properties like the Viceroy hotels in Santa Monica, Palm Springs, and Miami has garnered fans from coast to coast and consistently threads her vibrant, feminine aesthetic across all projects.

In her latest book Hue, you will be treated to a pictorial anthology of Wearstler’s commercial and residential clients ranging from mansions to boutiques all identifiable by her signature characteristics. As the title implies, vivid color is often Wearstler’s secret weapon used to reinvent a space whether she applies a monochromatic palette or punctuates a hotel lobby with punchy vintage furnishings. From cover to cover, this stunning coffee table book is the perfect inspiration for anyone looking to makeover an otherwise drab environment. Wearstler proves that it doesn’t take millions to make a room look like a million bucks and with just a little bit of color, you can create a world of difference.

Suffice it to say this book is the apple of my eye.
