Calling Out For Colour!

We need more colour in our lives!

Living in a country where it is often a rarity to be blessed with glorious sunny days, it still baffles us as to why so many people shrink away from using colour in their homes. Just because it's grey outside it doesn't mean we have to reflect this on the inside.

Ok so we understand that maybe having bold colours and patterns everywhere may be a bit full on and not everyone's cup of tea, but executed in the right way, you can bring warmth and colour to your schemes and still have an easy living vibe by using neutrals as your main ground.

Did I say no greys?! Well actually I must admit I love grey, but use it as a neutral base rather than all grey, grey, grey! Then create stunning colour schemes by introducing bold, block accent colours such as mustard yellow, orange, fuchsia or emerald green and teal.

"We need to keep it neutral incase we move" I have heard this so many times from clients. My answer to this is, "Life is short, do what you want, not what you think other people might want, be daring and be bold!" Even if it is just starting with a colour scheme. We have to start somewhere! :) xx 

Be Daring With Dark Walls!

Be daring with dark walls! Many clients are apprehensive about using dark tones on walls within a scheme, as the worry is the room will look too gloomy. Teamed with the right accent colours and lighting, the effect is actually quite the opposite. Dark walls create a comforting, cocooning effect and make a perfect background on which bright artworks, curtains and accessories can pop!
