Behind the Design: Complementary Colors

Written by Palmetto Bluff

Nov 15, 2022

Known for her beautiful, colorful, and functional spaces, Kelly Caron from Kelly Caron Designs uses timeless design principles and thoughtful space planning to create homes with an authentic reflection of Lowcountry living.

Her latest project in the May River Forest neighborhood at Palmetto Bluff, features traditional Lowcountry style mixed with a vibrant color palette, textured fabrics, and elegant prints. The result is a stunning home that is a timeless reflection of its owners that is also grounded in day-to-day living.

Statement lighting is predominantly brass, as seen here in the oversized pendants in the kitchen.
Traditional Lowcountry style is sprinkled with nostalgia and heirloom chinoiserie.
Carefully styled antiques and eclectic artwork in complementary colors create a comfortable, fresh palette balancing formality with a touch of whimsy.
Layering of textured fabrics features elegant prints infused with bold solids.
A bold, vibrant palette blends warm and cool tones, offset with bright white context.
A pallet of cool, breezy blues mixed with warm, natural wood tones encourages relaxation.
Honoring her clients’ wish for consistent flow, transitions from room-to-room blend floor-to-ceiling color, scale, and strategically layered finishes.
Seamless and ethereal, the dialogue between interior design and outdoor living spaces is engaging.
Directly connected to the outdoors through airy, open spaces, this thoughtfully planned outdoor retreat embraces Lowcountry living.
