Bridget Beari Color Rule #49: A Case for Negative Space.

Negative space is the visual open space around your furnishings. It’s what frames your design elements and allows them to shine. A room filled wall-to-wall with furniture and decor feels crowded, while a thoughtfully edited space feels calm, intentional, and elevated.

Think of negative space as the pause between notes in a beautiful piece of music. It gives your eye a place to rest and creates balance throughout the room.

The next time you style a bookcase, arrange a vignette or place furniture resist the urge to fill every corner. Sometimes the most powerful design choice is leaving a little space behind.

Less clutter, more impact!

Great design isn’t built from one big idea. It’s crafted through hundreds of small decisions that most people never notice, but everyone experiences.

The spacing between elements, the curve of a chair, the texture of a material the way something feels in your hand.

Details aren’t the finishing touches. They are the foundation. They shape how a product works, how a space feels and how a brand is remembered.

When we pay attention to details, we’re not being perfectionist. We are creating experiences with intention.

I love completely transforming an interior from plain to giving it personality and life. By adding the ceiling treatment and changing the kitchen layout to include a butlers pantry in the back, this Florida home really shines now. Design is all about complementing the architecture and creating visual interest where there is none.

Welcome June! Whether you live by the beach or on a bustling city block, you can bring a seaside vibe into your bedroom year round. Think combos of sandy neutrals, airy sky blues, sunset inspired hues, deep sea turquoise, and crisp navy and white to evoke the calming beauty of the coast.

What colors remind you most of summer by the sea?

Thrilled to be included in this feature, “We’re Seeing Lilac All Over Home Decor—Is It Here to Stay?”

Thank you to writer for including my thoughts and for mentioning my new book, Bridget Beari Color Rules: A Guide to Choosing and Using Color at Home.

Lilac is indeed having a moment as it blossoms in our gardens and homes, but I say, it is here to stay. Its soft balance of warmth and calm makes it timeless and versatile.

“Like its namesake flower, the color lilac often blossoms in spring décor. However, the pale, pastel is really a perennial neutral when used thoughtfully.” Bridget Beari Designs | Susan Jamieson.

Here is Bridget Beari Color Rule #36- The Finish Factor!

Mixing paint finishes within a room makes a distinctive multifaceted statement that adds depth, dimension, and personal character. In this video, you’ll see how we used five different paint finishes to elevate the space with a sophisticated, custom design approach you can incorporate into your own home.

This primary bedroom features a pale gold high-gloss ceiling, taupe satin edging, and crisp white semi-gloss molding, along with metallic gold trim on the bookshelves contrasted against the flat finish turquoise shelving and backing.

Have you mixed paint sheen to maximize your finishing touches? Need more help with color? Order our new book- Bridget Beari Color Rules today! A guide to choosing and using colors in your home.

Thank you to for the wonderful print feature highlighting my new book, Bridget Beari Color Rules: a guide to choosing and using color at home.

I’m so grateful for the continued recognition and positive reviews, but most of all, hopeful that the book helps readers discover their true hues and learn how to harness the magic of color to make every space as special as they are.

Assisting in the “ Painting Pointers” chapter is my dog, LiLi. A portion of the book sales supports animal rescue organizations, as do my Bridget Beari paint and wallpaper collections.
