In our inaugural Design Challenge on the Sheffield Forum, we asked for a perfect autumnal color palette to inspire the decor of a room or an event space. We had some great submissions, but ultimately the most intriguing and well-conceived idea came from our winner Marinella Berthoud.

Marinella is a student in the Interior Design program. She created a wonderful palette that evolves from the lighter shades of summer to the richer colors of fall, and she chose an impressive set of furniture and accessories to illustrate how she would use the palette to inform a room design.

We are so pleased to have Marinella in our community, and were really impressed with her submission and positive attitude.  You can check out her design, along with all of the other submissions, right here.

Is all this color inspiring you? You ought to throw your own hat in the ring - we are taking entries for our November Design Challenge now!
