This just in: Lowe's House of Curators (opens in new tab) launches with interior designer and fashion icon Iris Apfel to celebrate Lowe's 100th birthday this year. The retailer tapped Apfel — known for her instantly recognizable, eclectic, and colorful style — to help consumers drive bold décor items that mirror her unique aesthetic, making it the perfect time to freshen up any outdated spaces.
Featured in Apfel's curations will be Lowe's first-ever Centennial Color Palette, which stares back at quintessential hues from each decade to inspire consumers to use the colors in new and modern ways.
Whether your taste gravitates towards the vibrant blues and reds of the 1920s or the relaxed earth tones of the 1970s, this palette will highlight fresh ways to incorporate legendary color into home design.
Beyond giving each color new life, Apfel also curated her palette for additional inspiration. Available in four different curations, each style mixes texture, color, and pattern across paint, textile, and furnishings to develop bold looks in every space.
So whether you're hoping to swap out old outdoor furniture or breathe new life into your bathroom, here are four Iris Apfel-approved ways to do so.
