Northwest #32: Jason and Ryan's Colorful Combination


10-17-jasonryan.jpg
fallcolors3.jpgName: Jason and Ryan
Location: Seattle, Washington
Type of Home: Townhouse
What inspired you to use color? Color makes us smile when we walk through our front door. Our home is where we spend most of our time and each room has its own unique feeling and character. It was important for us to choose colors that were unique separately and incredible together.

 
 

Color Tip: Do not be afraid to mix colors, patterns and textures. Combine new, antique, Modern, retro and classic pieces all together. Use all the things that you have collected, been gifted, and that remind you of where you have been and inspire your future. Group and arrange them together in a way that makes sense for the way you live. Inspiration for color can come from anywhere.

Colors Used: Sweatshirt grey, mango gold, alpine pool, chinatown orange, cotton candy pink, obsidian glass, shale blue and peacock's plume

Love that houndstooth Couch.....love houndstooth, especially when its bold and large print. I love that it's a trend, and so easily available right now. Better stock up :)

Sorry but when i first looked at it I thought it was rec. room, but perhaps that is the look they were going for.

It's a lovely place but it really needs some table-top and floor lamps. All the lighting in the photos appears to be from the recessed lights in the ceiling and that drives me bonkers!

I don't think the sectional is pinstriped...I think it's corduroy

good eye for graphics. if you're not already an artist, you should give it a try.

you need a little more lighting. i highly suggest reading the lighting section in the cure book. it's the only thing that made me finally start to understand it.

Thanks guys. Yeah, lighting is our next project. Had to take these pics at night to make the deadline and ideally would have taken during the day. :( The houndstooth sofa's a vintage Milo Baughman, and the brown sofa's indeed wide-wale corduroy.

Wow! Thank goodness Ryan and Jason said I could move in. I'm looking forward to mathching my outfits with their walls! Their home is fantastic, almost as cool as their personalities. So awesome, sure Max is loving this! Can't wait to see what else they do with the walls, floor and more! the UK-branded pillows rock my world.

Glorious, tasteful use of color and design. I want this to be a finalist.

I like the use of graphics and textiles, but the colors don't do much for me.

This is in a category of it's own. What a refreshing scheme! Especially for being so simple. This entire set provides readers with ideas that they can use while really upping the bar for this challenge. The idea to use colour is great and all, but to use it so that it packs a graphic punch in a subtle way takes talent. Even if the entire place doesn't suit your style, there are elements that appeal to most everyone. That is an accomplishment! Kudos.

Well done, gentlemen. Beautiful use of what would otherwise be a very dull space. Your colors and graphics are amazing.

WHOA! This is just hot. Completely, utterly wildly hot. I do so very much love this so much that it's really just not funny.
