Edmonton Interior Decorator | Colour Trend | Black in the Day

Most of my clients are pretty confident when it comes to making furniture selections. However, their biggest source of anxiety tends to focus on colour selection. If I suggest anything that is a whisper darker than white, many of them start to worry.

"Will the room look too small? Will I feel like the walls are closing in? Will it be depressing?"

The answer is: no, no and no. Not if it's done right and well balanced with other elements in the room.

To prove my point, I am showcasing rooms with the darkest paint possible: BLACK! I dare say, you will find these rooms chic and elegant -- never dull or depressing.



So, are you still afraid of the dark?

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Colour Trend: Black &Yellow | Honey Bee-Beautiful

Black and Yellow isn't just a hit song by rapper, Wiz Khalifa, it's also an energetic, high contrast colour combination for your home. When I think of black and yellow, I think of the bustling of NYC yellow taxis, cheerful sunflowers and the buzz of honey bees.

According to the experts, yellow is intellectually stimulating. It's great for conversation and also memory recall.

Just like the rush of NYC, black and yellow isn't for the timid. Yellow is tart and refreshing. It will stimulate your senses. It's a great way to get the energy back into your home. So, will you refresh your room with a twist of lemon?

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Moodboard | Aqua Ambition

Lady Gaga's outfit choices are a topic rarely left untouched. From prosciutto frocks to armadillo shoes, she has worn it all. This colour theory/mood board was inspired by "Mother Monster's" decidedly restrained ensemble she paraded at the 2011 Fashion Icon awards.

I love the bold combination of aqua and black. It brings to mind images of mythical creatures like mermaids and endless oceans. Like these two things, this combination can be both mysterious and moody.

If you feel like you've got "Aqua Ambition", this palette lends itself well to the contemporary and art deco periods alike.

So, I have to ask: Are you "gaga" for aqua and black?

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Decor Trend | Black White and Gold


Well, it didn't take me long to fall back in love with high-contrast interiors. Besides, I think it's in my blood to love "Black Gold" -- after all, I was raised in Oil Country. And, if it's good enough for the Queen of Pop, it's good enough for me.
