Where Boldness Meets Blueprint: An AD100 Designer Makes the Case for Color

Corey Damen Jenkins, the AD100 designer known for rooms that refuse to whisper, is making the argument that color belongs in every home—not as accent, but as the calling card of a well-designed one. In conversation with Architectural Digest, Jenkins lays out how he talks hesitant homeowners into taking the leap, treating saturated palettes not as a risk to be managed but as the point of hiring a designer in the first place. For a local market built on custom builds and architect-led renovations, it is a useful reminder that restraint is a choice, not a default—and that the boldest rooms are usually the ones a client almost talked themselves out of.
