This can mean different things for different people, she acknowledges.
Too-Bright Whites
Stark, all-white-everything is no more the move, says Palm Beach designer Ellen Kavanaugh.
The new white is warmer and has depth, she explains.
Your decorating choices should first be rooted in what makes you happy.
Don’t be afraid to add color if you love it.
Superficial Shades
Clear, vivid hues are out, says Kavanaugh.
In other words, steer clear of paints that lack dimension or earthiness.
Instead, saturate the space in whatever color youre using.
