Product of the Week: Color in Space

You probably painstakingly pored over paint chips to find a wall color for your living space, but if your main criterion was whether it would match your throw pillows, you might need a color intervention. 

A clever Seattleite has created a pretty genius way to make choosing a palette easy. Color in Space, founded by interior designer Emily Lauderback, is a system that helps to create a coordinated space using strategic color palettes. Each 12-color palette is named for a different dwelling style, and can be used to guide your selection of anything from paint to an area rug. Lauderback promises that the colors have been chosen for their effective visual balance.

Product of the Week: Room & Board Valspar Paint

Designers often say the easiest way to transform a room is to paint it. But sometimes nothing can be harder than choosing that perfect, looks-good-in-every-light color to complement your furniture and architecture. We're in luck now, however, because Room & Board has teamed up with Valspar to launch a line of exclusive shades that take the guesswork out of finding just the right hue. The PNW loves its neutrals, so if that's you, then this is your dream line of no-VOC paint-and-primer-in-one. You'll only need to choose from six timeless neutrals: White, Limestone, Sandstone, Cement, Putty, and Charcoal. With such a focused palette, you can get right to painting already.
