apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

What if there were one object that were another shade?

Like a kelly green pillow?

The room would vibrate.

I spy something...red!

"Would you consider a room done entirely in one shade?"

This is two shades: Red and White.

However, many folks already stick to one color in their rooms: Beige.

why does this remind me of "the shining"??

Um, no.

redrum.

yikes!

Great. But why go half way? The walls need to be red too.

This probably looks better in the picture than in person.

Only one way to find out...

I know someone who did this with green. Not for artistic reasons, or those supposed by the artist - preference, mania, imposition or circumstance - well I guess I'd wonder about the circumstance. When something comes in a variety of colors and green was one of them, she went with green. Not that she preferred it, just that she was decorating the only way she could guess how. She appeared not to be able to discern that greens don't just coordinate themselves, and wherever taste was concerned, she chose a green anything, corny, cheap, adequate, over quality and aesthetics. Everything in the room wasn't green, but it was enough and it wasn't nice.

I think the rooms above fail to meet the artist's own criterion of accumulating the most possible things in one room that are red. There are no dogs and most of the framed "art" on the wall appears to be a copout just to add more red to add to the saturation. The room makes my eyes very tired quickly, but I'm sure it's missing other things that are red that could or should be there.

I like it!

And my that I mean I'd take a stab it living in it ( no pun intended). Imagine this in a house done room by room- a red room, blue room, brown room, yellow room- including the wall color. What a wild and surreal way to see how colors affect your mood...

I prefer the way Marlon does things like in his green (and then blue) pad, which ended up in the "Apartment Therapy Presents..." book. He did color on his walls, but just black and white on everything else. It was just genius and beautiful.

Makes me want to ride thru on a Big Wheel.

Sunspot42, you just destroyed me! Too funny, and exactly right---

Run. Away.

I've seen good moncromatic rooms but this just gives me a headache.

Wow, I wish I was in London now... I saw a Meireles exhibition at the New Museum when I was at NYU about 10 years ago and it was incredible!
