Color of the Year

Color of the Year

If you’ve known me and my design experience, you would fully understand my love for color. Bringing in color to an interior takes agility, focus and a touch of bravery. Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced many interior designers in their purchasing decisions whether they follow or break the trends of these influences.

I’m pleased to share this collaboration with Globe Skateboards and Pantone, as a passion and to share inspiration! - Erica Ortiz-Berke

Pantone
Color of the Year Box Set

For more than 20 years, Pantone's Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions across fashion and furnishings, as well as product, packaging, and graphic design. As brand and product designers, we speak the language of color, and Pantone has been our Dictionary. In tribute, we offer fellow design and colour enthusiasts the ability to skate or collect a piece of color trend history.

Give Your Room a Designer Touch on a Budget

Let’s talk about Art which should be a passionate collectible item, each selection should evoke an immediate emotion when you find just the right piece.  There are different price points of course in which each of us can afford however I encourage each of you to collect pieces that are original.  A great place to start is with local artists in your hometown. There are several markets and places to find art on a budget here in Santa Fe. I’m sure there is affordable art in your area. Also, try social media like Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest for local artists in your area.

The second Design trick is plants they add a dimension and warmth to any room in your home.  Go down to your local farmers market and pick up a bundle of the latest in season flowers.  If you prefer a low maintenance plant your in luck, succulents are just the perfect plant a beautiful structured look with minimal watering you cannot go wrong.  Lastly there are those of us who are so busy and watering a plant results in a dried up twig my solution is a great artificial plants.  As shown above  they cool look just as vibrant and realistic as the real thing this particular one is available in my showroom in the El Dorado Hotel.   They will also be sold on www.neubleu.com once we launch in the next few weeks.  In the meantime feel free to call me with any questions at 505.795.0054 

Have fun collection and shopping for your favorite flowers and adding to your personal art collection!

Cheers…
