50 | Oregon Home The home’s library provides a cozy retreat for rainy days. BLUE KEVIN TWITTY kevintwitty.com “People are often afraid to stray from neutralfilled images of clean and colorless interiors that flood the internet,” says Kevin Twitty, a Portlandbased interior designer known for his attention to detail, globally inspired design approach and classic, timeless designs. “I think about color right away,” says Twitty. “I want to give my clients the confidence to feel excited about showing themselves through color.” For this urban-living three-story for a newly divorced woman—the fourth project he has done with this particular client—Twitty landed on various types of blue, a nod to her love of the sky and crystal-clear waters of a tropical vacation. “It gives the rooms a playful sense of femininity,” Twitty says. Twitty’s approach is to treat color like a friend and to be fearless about sprinkling colors throughout a design. Not all of his projects are this bold (often clients are only comfortable with their pillows and art having color), but he prefers to challenge clients to step outside of their boxes and take a chance they will love. “This space feels like one big and bright smile,” Twitty says.
