Big Bold Color Choices

This summer we were inspired by all of the uncharacteristically bright sunny days here in Portland to make some big bold colorful concept boards for our showroom.

Just because the summer is ending doesn't mean the fun should end! 


 Strong color choices are great for accent walls and smaller spaces like powder rooms.

Or if you're more adventurous, you can use big bold colors anywhere!  Here's a great gallery from Martha Stewart with lovely ideas on how to use bright colors in your decorating.

There is nothing like a blast of color to make a space feel more upbeat and fun. If you're looking for inspiration on how to use color in your designs try Pinterest or Houzz for some great images.



Pop into our showroom in Portland, Oregon for a factory tour or just to brighten up your day!

"The Drab Age is over. Color is coming into its own again. Until very recently people were literally scared out of their wits by color. Perhaps this was a hangover from our Puritan ancestors. But whatever the reason, brown, grays and neutrals were the only shades considered 'safe.' Now we know that lovely, clear colors have a vital effect on our mental happiness."  - Dorothy Draper

Autumn is here!

Right on cue it's suddenly Autumn here in Portland. Windy and rainy and then a blast of sunshine just when you'd given up on it! Here's a few projects moving through the factory that seem to mirror the weather -

Pretty leaves blowing around these 4x4's -

These were custom made for a client, they're getting ready to be fired and then glazed.

And that blast of sunshine! Some Intaglio bubbles in a bright custom green -
Happy Autumn!

Pantone Color of the Year - Emerald

Emerald Green
Pantone tells us that Emerald is the color of the year for 2013. I took a look at our palette and while we've been known for our rich earthy Craftsman greens Pratt & Larson also makes quite a few brighter, more Emerald greens too.

 There are beautiful greens in all our glaze families.

If Emerald is a little too dark for you we have a green for everyone. 
And of course we can custom color match too!


There's more Emerald green pictures on our Pinterest page too, be sure to follow us for lots of great pictures.
