Interior Color Portfolio

My signature style includes dreamy tinted neutrals, saturated color focal points, bold contemporary pattern, delightfully curvy shapes, and elements of the natural world. As a designer I also know how to hone in on a client's unique needs and find the solutions that work for them. Do you desire a space with layers of gorgeous neutrals? I'll help you find the right neutrals for your space, as well as the textures to make it come alive. Is your style more edgy or more traditional? Having been a designer for over 25 years, I know how to create solutions for anyone. Ready to learn more? Write to me at kristin@woonwinkelhome.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

Spring Greens - A Collaboration with Miller Paint

To refresh this 100-year-old breakfast nook, we looked for inspiration just outside the windows. Surrounded by new spring growth, we decided to harness the wonderfully balanced quality of green, which tends to be both energizing and calming. The pale yellow-green of the walls creates a gentle backdrop while the contrasts in the fabric and art add energy. The dark blue door creates a focal point from the adjacent dining room, turning a bland sightline into an invitation to see what's up in the kitchen.

We kept the walls, cabinets, and trim all one color for a modern look. Reducing the amount of contrast in this way also creates a more soothing space because your eyes and brain have fewer edges to discern. We chose to subtly highlight the archway with a dusty lilac, a fun quirk for this color-lover.

Plenty of energy and contrast was added in through accessories and art sourced at Woonwinkel (pendant, chair, cushions, vase, and throw), Schoolhouse (blue cushion), and Rebecca Atwood (bench fabric). Black, white, and rust added complementary pep to an otherwise harmonious green and blue scheme.

Slender House - A Collaboration with Wendy Scott Design

The Slender House, off Mississippi Ave, is an award-winning structure by Waechter Architecture that Wendy Scott Design lightly renovated and redecorated. When Wendy started brainstorming with this client and it became clear that she was into COLOR, she called me in for collaboration. We formulated a color palette for the house that was broad enough to create different moods in different areas, while also creating cohesion for this multi-story home.
