Minneapolis is Devine

HOM Furniture in Minneapolis invited Devine Color into their showrooms to assist customers with color, our colors.
You see, it is not only what you are buying that matters. How will what you bring home look best with all the other colors that already exist in your space—like the color of your precious antiques, hardwood floors or treasured collectables? Wall color is what makes all things get jiggy with each other, and our colors do it best!
The proof is in the puddin’. HOM Furniture has begun to paint several areas in their showrooms with our colors. It’s so exciting to see the hues do what they’re supposed to do. They make wood radiant. They fill in spaces without becoming loud. And, most of all, they balance color values in everything.
When something is perfect, beautiful, and you don’t want to change a thing, you know it. As a matter of fact, everyone knows or feels it. I took the advice of Esquire magazine and went to America’s #1 bar called Nyes Polynese. It hasn’t changed in over 40 years. Besides from colorful people, it has colorful vinyl and candy-crusted crystal lamps! You know when color is perfect when it gives you that timeless feeling, where you want to visit or stay forever!
Another great watering hole is Psycho Suzi’s Motor Lounge, and, of course, Bellanote. Thank you, Minneapolis, for all your treats and visual pleasures. I am so proud that Devine Color is a part of this amazing city, enhancing living spaces and life expereinces as we grow.

We are building a cabin in Montana and using natural fir for the molding. I am really at a loss for wall color. The wood is vibrant with orange and reds but I also love color on the walls. The family room is open with vaulted ceilings and a open balcony to the second floor. Please help…

Shawna:
You are in luck! Our colors love to make wood sizzle even more! Devine Custard, Maple and Teak are stunning yellows that extend the golden glow of the wood color.
Devine Shell, Macadamia and Pecan contrast nicely with the reds and oranges
From there, choose colors like the new Devine C’est la Vie or Devine Blush as perfect shirts to the rest of the outfit…
Good luck and good color.
PS with all the wood surfaces, I suggest our Devine Delicate Wall Finish
