Chicago's Colorful Catalyst Ranch

wow: hot pink sheers next to yellow window frames

The Catalyst Ranch is an event and meeting space that does anything but shy away from color and visual stimulation at every turn. On first glance, these rooms look like they'd belong to a Color Contest home entry...

Although the space is larger than most apartments, a lot of colorful ideas can be transferred to daring apartment dwellers. We spotted this tour over at Strange Closets (many more images where these came from!) and pulled a few of our favorite ways Catalyst Ranch uses color.

Love, Love, LOVE this!!! I was recently at someone's home where they had no color at all, not even art hanging on the walls. I prefer warmth and life to sterile bare environments. But that's just me.

Love this place! It's so colourful and yet not loud.
