Beige No More: A Designer Brightens Her House with Color

A colorful living room featured in Lonny Magazine

This month Lonny magazine featured designer Angie Hranowsky and her colorful home.

When her family moved into a traditional older home in Charleston, South Carolina, she says, “It was nothing but beige.”

They were renting and couldn’t make any major changes, so she transformed the rooms with color.

Have you been craving color in your house, too?

    Not to be sexist or too personal, but the article refers to the decorator’s “then-husband” so I have to presume she and the girls had the luxury of choosing the color palette minus any testosterone objections. 🙂

    This house seems to work very well with the colors she’s chosen so if they are happy, that’s all that matters. My personality doesn’t find it soothing.

    I love bright and airy and colorful! This overall palette isn’t to my personal taste, but I do love how bright and cheerful everything is. 🙂

    Love color, but do not love these colors. To each their own!

    Although all that color is not my cup of tea, she really did it well. I think it’s the pastel shades I’m not partial to. I tend to go with reds and yellows. I loved how she did them though. I love the children’s art display.

    I love all of this, except for the master bedroom. Does anyone else find this extremely 80’s?

    I love color too…with heavy doses of white. What a pretty pink bedroom!

    I adore color, but I don’t find anything appealing in this decor at all.

    For a rental home she’s done a great job of personalizing. I love that silhouettes are coming back into vogue.I have lime green silhouettes of all our dogs … Very colorful and fun!

    The pink bedroom looks warm, contemporary and cozy. Very lovely.
