Why ‘Pistachio’ Designs?

One of the first elements I consider when creating a design concept is color. I’m constantly referencing and considering different palettes - both traditional and unexpected! - and how the hues work together to evoke the mood of the space. A trusty, familiar, and ultimately favorite color combination of mine is a mix of greens, deep purples, and taupes - the colors, of course, of a pistachio nut. - Elaine Thompson
