Understanding Undertones: The Nuances of Color with Rebecca Costakis

Understanding Undertones: The Nuances of Color with Rebecca Costakis

The term undertone has gained popularity in our design vocabulary, giving us a new way to decipher and evaluate color. In this CEO Corner, we will explore the beauty of undertones, focusing on ways to lean into their ability to enhance a space. By understanding the interdependence between a paint color and its surroundings, we can learn to appreciate the dynamism of color. We will start to look at color as more than just red, green, violet, or gray but from a more thoughtful approach. This idea is encapsulated by the Color Trends 2025 palette, celebrating the nuances and intricacies of color that elevate any design.

📚 DO Book Club | "Quit Like a Woman" by Holly Whitaker

📚 DO Book Club | "Quit Like a Woman" by Holly Whitaker

Join us for Designer’s Oasis first book club meeting! We're diving into Quit Like a Woman by Holly Whitaker.

“We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity — in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. When Holly Whitaker decided to seek help after one too many benders, she embarked on a journey that led not only to her own sobriety, but revealed the insidious role alcohol plays in our society and in the lives of women in particular. Written in a relatable voice that is honest and witty, Quit Like a Woman is at once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol in order to live our best lives without the crutch of intoxication.”

Whether you've read every word or just started, all are welcome. This is a space to connect with fellow members, share your thoughts, and bond over our shared love of reading. Bring your favorite beverage, get comfy, and let’s chat!
