Sometimes being fearless with color gives a pig payoff. With glam touches, colorful fabrics and retro details, the upholstery collection of Kim Salmela, the former set designer for Prince, is a lot of fun. I spotted it at High Point, and think a piece of it here or there could really make an interior come to life. Deep sofa tufts, spirited fabric patterns and interesting detailing make the Kim Salmela Atelier collection of over 40 US made pieces worth a look. Try on some color and see how you feel. Are you feeling uplifted? You will soon!
