timeless design

Inspired by natural elements and neutral colors, designer and HGTV star Leanne Ford hand selected the designs in the Formica® Brand Capsule Collection. This collection includes 4 new laminate patterns plus 10 of Leanne’s personal favorites from Formica Corporation’s entire portfolio. And just like a capsule wardrobe, timeless surface designs never go out of style. “I love to mix materials in my designs and try unique and unexpected materials. I hope this Capsule Collection inspires people to use Formica surfaces in fun, new ways.”– LEANNE FORD A – SET IN STONE A classic gray stone look with signature white veining, this island base in Pietra Grafite adds subdued, sophisticated style to the space while providing a balance for the jet-black shades and sleek furniture found in the living area.

the magical combo that always works

Readers can figure out pretty quickly that we love bright colors at HGTV Magazine. Lime green sofas, purple pillows, orange console tables—we go gaga for all these, all the time. So why would we dedicate so many pages in this issue to decorating with black and white?

wow! what color is that?

“This used to be an old beat-up staircase in a Pittsburgh home. I elevated its classic shape with true-black paint on the floors and carpet on the steps. Now it all looks modern, no reno required.”—Leanne Ford, Rock the Block“As much as I love incorporating family heirlooms into new spaces, the original dark wood of this china cabinet was too stuffy for my client’s crafting room. A couple of coats of citrus yellow paint cheered it right up!”—Amanda Louise Campbell, Amanda Louise Interiors, Greenville, SC“This is a warm pink, like the kind you see in sunsets, which is why it works in lots of different spaces. Here it adds a bit of fun in a mostly white bathroom. I could also see it pepping up an entryway or a small…
