"Bright hues are uplifting with the power to positively affect changes in mood. Color, in this sense, becomes less about decoration and more about emotional infrastructure and a tool for resilience."
"The palette pulls from 1990s hip hop ephemera, retro sports graphics, and the chromatic buzz of a recycled Nike sneaker floor-the project's unlikely starting point."
"It's a deliberate rejection of 'chromophobia'-that quiet cultural fear of color that has long dictated what is considered 'tasteful.'"
This 12,000-square-foot contemporary home was initially designed with minimalism in mind, featuring clean lines and an all-white interior. However, the owners desired a space that radiated happiness rather than silence. Shanna Gatanis Design Studio transformed the home into a vibrant environment, using color as an emotional tool. The palette draws inspiration from 1990s hip hop and retro sports graphics, incorporating blues for depth and saturated reds, yellows, and greens for energy. This approach challenges the cultural fear of color, promoting joy as a grounding element in design.
