As Long Island continues to celebrate its reopening this summer, folks are enjoying
outdoor adventures again.
Yet even as the pandemic ebbs locally, it seems that the notion of home as sanctuary –
and more – won’t soon be forgotten. So, it’s important to maintain a happy vibe in one’s
dwelling, with mood-boosting elements and personalized décor. Be fearless! Choose a
color palette that speaks to you, let go of that cookie cutter mindset, and zhuzh up those
white-on-white neutrals.
Recently chosen as one of 15 Top Interior Designers on Long Island, Claudia Grunberger
of Grunberger Interiors, in Great Neck (grunbergerinteriors.com), knows a thing or two
about creating uplifting spaces.
“I always love to play with color in a design scheme. I might use it in a subtle, understated
manner, or I might be bold and adventurous,” she shares. “It’s amazing what a
WHAT’S INSIDE transformative e ffect color can have.”
