Creating a Designer Centerpiece as easy as 1-2-3!
Creating a designer centerpiece is as easy as 1-2-3! With just a bowl, branches and a bit of natural greenery, you can create a beautiful arrangement for your own home.
We used the Bridget Beari Home Store ceramic “Bumpy" Bowl. Its unique textured finish adds visual interest and balances the botanicals inside. But you can use any bowl that is approximately 14” wide x 7” high… deep enough to hold your floral design in place.
You can purchase branch bundles like we used online, or forage your yard for beautiful options! Tuck in gorgeous green accents like the Moss Balls and Eucalyptus available at Bridget Beari Home Store. Or change it up to befit the season and occasion with oranges, pumpkins, Christmas balls… use your imagination!
Our step-by-step tutorial shows you how to layer the elements. You can replicate our design or come up with your own masterpiece using these super easy techniques!

Bridget Beari Color Rule #74 Limit Colors but Not the Range
Bridget Beari Color Rule Number 74
Limit Colors but Not the Range
It is not so easy to create a single hue room or a room filled with only analogous colors. The key to the combination is to create a range.
Below the room is mostly greys and grey blues. The designer has limited the color palette but stretched the range of grey into blue and violet. It create a beautiful flow and softness.

This room is mostly taupe but the lighter and darker variations blend and create contrast. The darker draperies against the even darker floor. The flat tape on the linen walls. All of these color are from the same hue but again the range is varied.
Interior by Luis Bustamante
The easiest way to do this is to create a mood board. Kelly Wearstler is the queen of combinations. Here is a tray she created full of objects that have similar hues. Some colors are stronger and other softer to create that perfect balance. It is easy to see how this is done in nature - see the agate and the marble cut in the tray.

If you are working with warmer colors this is a great example of a limited palette but the range is strong and dynamic. Bursting color over tones of gold.
Another way to test colors is to experiment with watercolors.Testing and mixing combinations let's you experiment with range while understanding the undertones.

So go ahead and test the rule - limit the color palette but not the range!
Happy Painting ...
