Designer Trina Turk is a colorful character. Living like Trina Turk means embracing bold color, a love of modern, mid century design and the full embracing of a citrus-infused home.
Domainhome.com and Mix and Chic featured this fun and whimsical spread on her Palm Springs home that is sure to inspire, make you smile and rethink the way you decorate in warmer weather and climates.
Keeping the architecture and basic room color scheme a simple white allows the textile patterns pop. Another great way to introduce color and shape is by displaying decorative glass as Trina Turk has done on table tops and credenza surfaces.
There is a great play of materials in this home with woods and glass married with modern chrome and designer lamps in tubular brass. This citrus scheme can also look fresh and new in kitchen lighting design such as in island pendants.
Do you love the daring use of competing patterns? I love the linear paintings and bedspreads with curvilinear rug patterns and geometric pillows. Thematically it all works due to the uniform color palette and knowing what works best for a specific climate.
While I’m unsure of the origins of the art and furnishings, this look can probably be copied by spending some time at flea markets, antique shops and of course at Lamps Plus.
1. The Mazza Copper Round Leaves Wall Plaque creates instant texture to plain walls.
