Color Block.
Welcome to my blog. I’ve never considered myself a writer, so creating a blog was never on my radar. I primarily use this website for professional purposes, such as showcasing my work and CV. However, the idea of sharing my thoughts and inspirations in a blog unexpectedly took root, and here I am. If you’re reading this, I’m glad you’re here, and I truly hope you enjoy it.

Do I Usually Follow Trends?
No.
With a strong and defined creative style, I typically don’t follow trends because they are often short-lived. However, if there’s something I genuinely like, I will definitely use it. For example, in 2019, the trend of color blocking emerged strongly, not only in fashion (which I personally don’t love) but also in design (which I do love).
What is Color Block?
This trend, applicable to various design fields (fashion, interior design, architecture, graphic design, etc.), is based on using one or more solid colors to create a striking visual effect. Whether you stick to a cohesive color scheme or choose contrasting colors, the outcome is sure to be stunning. It also incorporates shapes to highlight a specific area or space. The great thing about this trend is that it’s not limited to just painting walls; you can expand your creativity by painting ceilings, furniture, faux plants—anything!
The color blocking trend I’m obsessed with is the one that uses a single color throughout an entire space. One color? Yes, just one color.
I might lean towards this style of color blocking because, as a minimalist lover, white predominates in almost everything I do. Therefore, choosing one color (that isn’t white) for every design element doesn’t bother me at all—in fact, I love it!

I probably wouldn’t use this trend for a residential project by painting an entire space one bold color. Instead, I would apply it in a more measured and specific area to create a highlight. I see this type of trend as more suited for retail or workspaces.
Regarding color psychology, you can use color blocking with shades like red or yellow in a restaurant to stimulate hunger and happiness, or a calming pastel green in a meeting room to help people feel more relaxed. A bright or neon yellow in a gym can energize and motivate people. The options are limitless with color blocking!
Get Inspired
There are millions of trends online—globally and locally. As I mentioned earlier, I don’t typically follow trends, but when I find one I like, I believe it’s worth exploring deeper. As designers, we need to stay constantly updated with the trends that come and go. I truly hope this one is here to stay, but we shall see... Are you following any trends? :)
