Embark upon a journey of stepping out of a color comfort zone and check out how Lucie’s lovely, monochrome
interior gained a more colorful expression. We couldn’t be happier to see our Met Media Furniture in Terracotta Blush being a
foundation of that makeover!
Read Lucie's story and experience firsthand her new colorful adventure.
I have always been in a sort of a love-hate relationship with colors in interior design. Whenever I tried to incorporate one in my home, I got almost sick of it very, very soon. More or less, I have always stuck with muted shades of beige, grey, black and white. Do I think a monochrome home is timeless? Yes, absolutely. Chances are high that I will still like such a color scheme in ten, even twenty years.
Our comfort zone is where we feel most at home, but stepping out of it can become a new and valuable experience.

I soon realised that subdued color palette lies within my comfort zone. Ironically, our comfort zone is where we feel most at home: staying within its boundaries brings a steady performance. But stepping out of it can become a new and valuable experience. This is also very true when it comes to interior design and styling. So the question I asked myself some time ago was: am I ready to invite a large splash of color to my interior? Yes! And the answer is noo.ma.
Being a color rookie, I felt pretty daring to have chosen the Met Media Furniture in an eye-catching Terracotta Blush color. Both the shape and the very color of the piece give it a slightly mid-century modern vibe, which is perfect for a home influenced by Scandinavian design. Mid-century and Scandinavian designs work well together as they both owe a lot to the Bauhaus Movement.
Met Media Furniture is also available in Almond Grey and Vulcano Black. Although I really believe those two options are undoubtedly beautiful, the uncluttered and sleek lines of the unit allow for a more creative use of color. Terracotta Blush shade on a minimalist piece of furniture seems like a perfect choice for someone like me, who is a little wary of letting bolder colors into their home.
Whenever I craved a little bit of spice for my home, I basically resorted to adding a few coloured textiles such as sofa cushions. It almost always felt good, but never excellent. It is about time to break out of my shell and go for a more courageous expression! Being in an on-again and off-again relationship with colours for almost fifteen years, it seems I have finally found the one to settle down with for life.
