My husband is an artist and loves color! I, on the other hand, have needed to be convinced. After 11 years of marriage (as of today, thank you very much), I am coming around to his way of seeing things. For instance, I love these three, very different, very colorful, very fun seating options:
The Fat Boy Original — comes in every color imaginable and is a great basement option. We recently bought this before we had family stay with us and it was a huge hit with the kids and adults alike! Great for sitting on, laying on or jumping on! Check out all the ways to use it at Design Public or Zac and Zoe ($229 and free shipping).
Pier One Directors Rocking Chairs (on sale for $49.48). If you’re looking for a fun outdoor chair, that you can fold up and put away at leisure, I love this option! This Pier 1 exclusive is expressly for outdoor use and comes in three fun colors: violet, blue or green.
Anthropologie Bellis Perennis Chairs ($198)– These chairs from Anthropologie make me smile. With colorful lawn daisies scattered all over, they are simply charming. I think they would be great as an extra chair in an office or guest bedroom or as a mismatched set at a small breakfast table. Who wouldn’t want to sit here first thing in the morning?
So, if you’ve always been a little afraid of color like me, I say don’t wait any longer! When was the last time beige made you smile?
