    2016 Color Trends

    There are always a wide variety of color trends each year and I have to say I love most of them this time! I keep seeing predictions of white’s and neutrals and some colors that compliment them very well.

    Citrus colors said to be the pop of color this year that makes every home feel bright and airy.
    Love this color scheme. Thinking about doing more of a charcoal grey as the base color and then just throwing in some coral throw pillows and some white ruffled pillows to give the room some texture.:
    In addition to citrus, corals and and peaches are being picked as one of the most loved colors. 
    Custom Drapery - We’re always saying you should hang your drapery as close to the ceiling as possible, but being that curtain panels come in standard lengths, renters are often left with either short panels that end before they reach the floor or a pool of extra fabric thanks to short ceiling heights. Since you’re now working with a fixed height, it’s wise to invest in some tailored drapes perfectly suited to your home’s dimensions.:
    While white walls are still widely loved, high contrast colors are too like darker grays and gray blue’s.
    Pastels go really well with the color trends this year, so I see those being a big hit as well.
    What do you think of the color trends for 2016?

    Tile can add a raised facet to a space to help boost visual interest. in this pastel kitchen, the backsplash tile -- a miniature mosaic bordered by a raised tile -- picks up on the cabinet details and offers a focal point behind the range.:

  • Black & Gold

    Black & Gold

    Black and gold are colors that tend to stay in trend. You can’t go wrong with either one and they can look really classy done well. 
    Since black can get dark and dreary quickly, I always suggest a great balance of natural light and/or white. 
    The touch of gold gives it a great shine to contrast the black.

    The combination is also great with almost any other color. 
    Gold pair’s great with natural wood as well.

  • Dark Done Right!

    Dark Done Right!

    My initial response to a dark room would be to lighten it up as much as possible! There’s something so airy and light about a bright room that just uplifts my mood. Then there are some rooms that make me second guess my opinion. 
    Interior Design Ideas:
    Although white kitchens are my favorite, I love a stunning balance between light and dark. 
    If you are in love with a dark color wall, the bedroom would be my first choice! Since you spend most of your time sleeping in here, it sets the mood perfectly and there are so many light and bright stunning bedroom sets to choose from to even it out. 
    Bathrooms are another great option to try it out dark colors. With the surrounding white tiles and natural light in this bathroom, adding dark cabinets and flooring doesn’t bring down the mood!
    If you are wanting to try it out but are unsure if you’ll be happy with it, try it on one wall! Pair it was a nice neutral color and give it some time to see if it fits your space.

    Black & White Bathrooms

    Today I am embracing a little black and white. I tend to shy away from the darker colors but here is some inspiration that is proving that a little dark never hurt anyone:
    Love the lay out. Bath under window. The colors. Vanity. Light fitting. Everything!

    When using black and dark colors, I think it’s great to mix it with some bold bright as well to even it out and give natural light a chance to brighten up the room.

  • White & Wood

    Although I have a love for a white crisp room, sometimes too much white can feel bland. So to add on to my love of white and neutrals, here’s a great idea to give white rooms a little more character without taking away from the white.

    Natural wood really adds some character to the white without taking away from the crisp clean look!
