About Veridian Haven

At Veridian Haven, we're more than decorators. We're color scientists, artists, and storytellers. We believe color has the power to transform not just a room, but how you feel within it. Based in Springfield, IL, our mission is to move beyond fleeting trends and use the art and science of pigment to create deeply personal, soulful homes.

Meet Our Founder

Veridian Haven was brought to life by Jane Doe, our Founder and Chief Colorist. With a distinguished background in fine art and a profound understanding of classical painting techniques, Jane felt a growing frustration with the often-monochromatic and uninspired approach to modern interiors. Her passion for how color influences emotion and well-being ignited the vision for Veridian Haven.

Jane’s early career as a painter honed her eye for nuance and intensity, leading her to explore the ancient origins and psychological impacts of pigments. This deep dive inspired her to found Veridian Haven, an endeavor designed to bring sophistication and soulful expression back into home design.

“I've always been fascinated by the history of a color—where a pigment comes from, what it means. I wanted to bring that depth and story into people's homes, creating spaces that truly resonate.”

Our 'Pigment-First' Philosophy

At Veridian Haven, our design process begins where true artistry lies: with color. Our 'Pigment-First' philosophy is a deliberate departure from conventional interior design. Instead of selecting furniture or fabrics first, we immerse ourselves in the emotional potential of pigments, drawing inspiration from art history, natural landscapes, and the profound effects color has on the human spirit.

This unique approach ensures that every design decision flows organically from a foundational understanding of color theory, creating spaces that feel inherently balanced, harmonious, and deeply personal. We believe a home should be an authentic reflection of its inhabitants, and a thoughtful color palette is the most powerful tool to achieve this profound connection.
