ave you ever wondered why you’re attracted to certain things, while your sister can be attracted to complete others? Have you wondered why you get a lot of compliments in a specific dress, or why you struggle to find a cohesive and balanced look for yourself and your home?
In 1942, American fashion designer Suzanne Caygill came up with a theory that a person’s coloring, personal intensity, energy, and personality can be reflected into one of the four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Every season comes with its specific energy, colors, and styles that we relate to. Figuring out what our season is can help us out in so many ways. We were all created unique — our eye color, hair color, and skin tone are uniquely ours, so it’s not surprising that everyone’s color palette is exclusive to them. Wearing colors that bring out our inherent features and energy makes us glow without much effort. You’ll notice that you constantly get positive feedback when you wear your colors.
It’s not surprising that personal style and interior design are very interrelated — a talented interior designer will make sure that the client’s space reflects their essence. In addition, some theories posit that you can be a mix of two seasons. We are complex beings, and sometimes one season alone can’t be dominant for us. If you find yourself connecting to more than one season, you may be a mix!
Here’s a synopsis of all the seasons and a glimpse into the palette world. Use these photos to clarify how they show themselves in interior design, and see if you can find yourself in one or two!
