COLOR THEORY

We're known to gravitate towards neutrals here at LES, but there's no denying the sheer impact color - especially the deft combination of - can have on a room. Color is a joyride for the senses - a feast for the eyes while scientifically proven to influence mood. Using color within a room can be about striking a delicate balance - a subtle pop here to offset the tone of a painting or the cohesive mix of different hues that share a saturation level. Our favorites, however, are the rooms that make a true commitment to a hue, where every inch of the space is bathed in different variations of tone, value, and shade, creating a totally immersive and visceral environment. We call it color therapy.
