Who: Francia Fusik of All in One Decorating Solutions
Where: Windermere, Florida
In her own words: “Color is a significant and meaningful decorating element. Everything we see is color. It’s the first thing you see anywhere you go.”
“Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams,” artist Paul Gauguin once said. Whether you select scarlet, indigo or something else, color is a powerful aspect in the home and can influence mood and health.
“From the furniture to accessories, your color scheme should be in union — every element in your space should be complementary to one another,” says interior decorator Francia Fusik, the owner of All in One Decorating Solutions in Windermere.

A colorful calling. Fusik was introduced to home design while flipping homes. She enrolled in a two-year interior decorating program at a local college and was hooked. Fusik graduated as a certified interior decorator and founded her own company in 2006. “I love using color,” she says. “I’ve done two seminars at the Pantone Color Institute with the specialist who picks the color of the year.”
Balance and harmony. “Your house is your temple, and you should aim to have balance and harmony,” Fusik says. “I look at the way spaces flow from one room to the next. My beliefs align with the principles of om, as it symbolizes infinity, love, balance and harmony. That’s why I chose it for the emblem of my company.”

1. Use Yellow to Add Energy
“Yellow is the first color that your eye sees,” Fusik says. “It reminds you of the sun and makes you happy and energized.” She uses yellow to balance out neutrals and add vibrancy to interiors.
A touch of color was needed to balance the shades of gray in the transitional-style dining room in this home in Windermere. Fusik incorporated yellow patterned chairs, artwork and curtains; the lightbulbs give off a yellow glow too.

2. Use Red in Small Doses
If you’re partial to crimson shades, Fusik recommends using them as accents. “In some cultures, red denotes good luck, but in our culture it can signify danger,” she says. “You can feel agitated if you spend too long in a red room.” She suggests using accessories with hints of red such as pillows, a throw or even a small accent chair.
Homeowners in Windermere came from a culture in which red signifies good luck and fortune, but they also understood its connotations in the United States. Fusik satisfied their love of crimson with a picture frame, a sculptural vase and a stripe on the coffee table. She balanced the red with wood tones, an ivory sofa and black tables.

3. Use Blue for Serenity
There’s a reason a sunny beach has a soothing effect — blue is reputed to lower blood pressure and calm us down. “It gives you a sense of security,” Fusik says. “When you get up every morning, you know the sky — whether it’s azure or blue-gray — is going to be there.”
Windermere clients who loved the color blue wanted to infuse their home with its calming effect. Fusik knew that making everything blue would be too much, so she painted the walls a seafoam hue. She mixed in an ivory sofa, beige curtains and metal-accented tables. “The blues and tans were a good marriage,” Fusik says.
