Dorothy Draper Colors

Sensational Color has a nice post on the favorite colors of famed interior decorator, Dorothy Draper. I thought you’d enjoy reading it.  As writer Kate Smith says, “Dorothy Draper was the Grand Dame of using bright, bold color and texture combinations in her day and thought to be quite outlandish. While they are bold by today’s standards these colors don’t seem all that unusual.” 

Draper changed the interior design world beginning in the 1930’s - primarily by breaking away from the strict use of period styles. Her work remains influential. You can visit her site, which offers books and other information here.
