Catching up

Yes, I am still here! I miss our blog dialogue here on Hue.

Life has been busy with a toddler, to say the least. I call this photo, “Playing with rolled oats is super fun, mom!” (mine is the red-headed one)

I thought I’d show you a sneak peak of a fun recent project.

I worked with a family to give their beautiful Victorian an interior facelift for a more bright, airy, modern feeling. Dark stained trim and moulding were painted white, for starters. With a lack of natural light, the space felt too old, dark and closed in.
Here is a before shot of the foyer, with a variety of painted sample boards.  Notice how we didn’t paint swatches directly on the walls? There is no sense in selecting a color based on how it relates to a background that won’t exist once you repaint. 

We see colors in relationship to whatever color is next to it. The technical term is called simultaneous contrast. The appearance of any one color is modified by the presence of other colors. For example, place dark colors next to light colors and the dark colors will appear darker and the light colors will appear lighter.
The center gray square is the same in both the right and the left.

Okay, back to pictures.

Here is the “after” shot of the same hallway. Huge difference, right? We did an warm, cheery accent wall in the foyer to greet people as they arrive. 
 
Before shot: On the other side of the hallway is the staircase, flanked by an impressively intricate banister.

We continued the mocha color below the chair rail from the accent wall, and used a soft grayish taupe for above the railing all the way upstairs to the second floor hallway. Because the hallway zig-zagged it’s way through the foyer, up a staircase, and around the second floor landing, care had to be taken in selecting a subdued palette that would function in so many different spaces. Cut-off points like the end of a wall, or a break in the trim were not available, so color mileage was key.

A challenge with this project was incredibly varied lighting conditions throughout the spaces. Using Benjamin Moore’s new full spectrum paint, Color Stories, the paint swatches looked dramatically different when held up to various locations around the foyer and hallway. In the end, after trying 5 or 6 different combinations and options, we ultimately returned to the first choice. Sometimes you just have to check out your options!

Have any of you experimented with full spectrum paint? How has it changed the way you view paint?

Full Spectrum: 6 Tips for a Great Client-Designer Relationship

Well, it was sweet while it lasted … A gung-ho designer and enthusiastic client may work well together during the “honeymoon” stage of a project, but things can often turn rocky — fast. So, with a nod to New Year’s resolutions and fresh starts, I thought I’d provide some practical tips and suggestions to help keep your relationships with clients healthy and enjoyable all year long. Remember: Great design is the result of a great client-designer relationship.More…

I’ve been thinking for the last few days about a blog post that Brennan Gamwell, one of our interns, wrote last week on the Full Spectrum Blog. He wrote, “An estimated 250 million people are infected with malaria each year, and nearly one million die.

I just wrapped up writing an article for my column, Full Spectrum, in Color Conversations, Sherwin Williams online magazine, Stir. (I’ll let everyone know when it’s published.)

Basically, the gist of the article was to talk about how functional, educated color and lighting design are essential components of a school environment, and have a powerful impact on students’ productivity. So while I was researching the article, I came across all sorts of wonderful case studies and visuals. But as a for-profit corporation, SW must follow stricter rules about image usage, which means more hoops to jump through if you want to borrow photos from a site. So now, I’m swimming in cool images that I couldn’t use for the article.

Along with this, I’ve been in a holding pattern with a elementary school client who has yet to determine the priority for fixing up their campus interiors. I was so excited to have the opportunity to improve the students’ learning environments that I hit the ground running before any final decisions had been made. Just figured I would get a ‘head start’. Now, the project has been shelved indefinitely, due to a reshuffling of budgetary concerns.  And since I have education on the brain, I thought sharing some photos might help me get some “closure”, so to speak.

Here’s an itsy bitsy before shot of a 1960’s school building, a “nasty-looking teaching block” (in the architect’s own words), at Longford Community School in London.

Here’s a shot of the building after renovation. For those of you who love technical details, the low down: for the face lift, custom-color stained Finnish softwood laminated ‘fins’ that support both the first floor structure and the roof were used. I just love the brightly colored- gradation of panels. Can you imagine how sad this might have looked in cool, gray concrete?

Internally, a library space was designed as an adaptable open plan area that could be used for different ways of teaching

 including a raised area of carpet clad cubed modules for seating

and an enclosed curved ‘arena’ space.

The architect goes further, defining his approach in terms of color design:

“We like to define spaces and volumes using different finishes or materials often creating contrasts with unexpected or subtle use of colour. The practice is particularly interested in transformable and flexible spaces that can adapt and change to suit different ways of living, working or enjoying.”

Do you have a school in your area that really impressed you, colorwise? It seems to rare to find a educaitonal facility where color was seriously considered, especially inside.

It always amazes me what a difference good lighting can make in almost any situation, even more than painting or similar types of renovation. Most people accept the lighting they have without much question as to whether it’s the right thing to do in that situation or not. There are some simple ways you can increase the appeal of any room, and that’s by upgrading the lighting. Of course, you can go with new energy-efficient fixtures, but you can also do a simple bulb change that will also have an excellent effect. I did this recently again myself as I changed out some lighting in the kitchen. I’m using the full spectrum light bulbs, which are an incandescent light with a special coating that eliminates most of the undesirable yellows. It comes off as a very white light, but it’s more balanced than something like a compact fluorescent. Those fluorescents can often seem a little cold, even when they have a warm color temperature. What makes the full spectrum incandescents so good is that it retains much of the warmth it has while being a whiter light. The effect is stunning, and it really makes all the colors in that space standout. It all looks more natural, more colorful and in general has a better feel when you enter the room. This is a very simple way you can make almost any space look better without having to do anything other than change a light bulb. There are many choices and various configurations of this type of lighting, so the effect can be used in almost any type of light fixture you have. These aren’t energy-efficient, they’re like regular incandescent light, but for the right effect, this is still an excellent choice. For those of you who want a whiter light, better color, but don’t want the cold feel of the fluorescent, then these might be the natural answer to your lighting issue. You won’t be disappointed when you see how the colors jump out at you and gives your room the optimal look. Of course, if you’re need to save energy by lowering your electric use, then compact fluorescent and LED is still an excellent choice for that space. But for an inexpensive, yet effective lighting upgrade, consider regular full spectrum light bulbs for the purpose.

The latest of these is a new a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://www.buylightfixtures.com/t5-fluorescent-retrofit-high-output-lamp.aspxT5 fluorescent retrofit light bulb/a that works in existing F32T8 fixtures using the same sockets and ballast. So what’s the big deal? Here’s the big deal. These lamps operating on existing T8 fixtures produce 25% more light output than a standard F32T8 lamp. This is significant because it can produce more light with a simple change of a bulb, no other changes are needed to your existing fixture. For a long time, people were not able to get more light out of a T8 system without some kind of a ballast change. But this T5 fluorescent retrofit will now give the desired change without messing around with the ballast, sockets or the fixture itself. These are perfect for many types of lighting applications including retail lighting where higher light output could mean more sales. It’s also great for general office lighting where more light is needed in an area or maybe everywhere just to brighten things up. The 5000K color is a full spectrum, 82 color rendering index (CRI), so people will like how easy it is on their eyes, like natural daylight. This could be the linear fluorescent bulb that finally solves a lighting problem that may have been nagging you for years. It’s been great to save energy with T8’s, but using this T5 fluorescent retrofit, you can have energy efficiency as well as jump in light levels. It’s so simple to get more light with no electrician, no special tools, just a simple lamp change.div class=blogger-post-footerimg width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23538825-3373557823348403226?l=lightingnews.blogspot.com’ alt=”//div
