The editorials which have struck me the most lately are those with a rather muted colour palette. At first, I wanted to go full on for colour and paint the terrace walls in a bright hue, reminiscent of Louis Barragan’s houses, but I figured that working with a warm and neutral colour scheme will make it easier to add colour with accessories.
While researching the photographers of those editorials I stumbled upon two detail shots by Heidi Lerkenfeld which I really liked and a couple of months ago I bookmarked the second picture by Pia Ulin. My mind just did the rest and connected the dots (I love when this happens!). So I am going to apply this two tone concept to the outer walls. I was thinking warm green or rich khaki keeping the top part of the walls
white…What do you think?
