Inspiration abounds, from the glossy pages of a magazine to art on the walls to colors in nature. Here at Beth Haley Design, we look to homeowners to discover where they find inspiration and creatively infuse inspiring elements into their homes. Whether you are partial to bright yellows, modern aesthetics, or colors and characteristics that celebrate your heritage, Beth Haley Design can create a space with small personal touches that reflect you. Each design starts with a spark of inspiration, and today, we explore three projects and their muse(s).

A Touch of Yellow

The Inspiration Behind 3 of Our Favorite Designs

Uncovered while flipping through (an old issue of) Dwell Magazine, these cheerful spaces became inspiration for the project we have dubbed: A Touch of Yellow. Drawn to the pops of yellow and strong architectural lines, Beth Haley mimicked aspects of the Dwell-featured designs to create a space that is at once contemporary and timeless and is, above all, a work of art.
