Edmonton Interior Decorator | Colour Trend | Turquoise

When I think of shades like turquoise and aqua, I immediately think of exotic destinations and underwater fantasies. These blues are reminiscent of mermaids, jewellery and tropical locales. Enjoy these colours for the freshness and restful tranquility they can bring to your home.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Decor Trend | Neutral Interiors

I hate to admit it, but "neutral" is almost a dirty word in my vocabulary. From a design stand point, I love colour, contrast, bold pattern and plenty of shiny things. And forget talking to me about painting your walls "cream" or "buff". You'll put me into a coma in seconds! But, once in a while I become smitten with a neutral palette. It can be so arrestingly calm and sophisticated.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Beautiful Home Decor

Though most of this blog is dedicated to providing inspiration and ideas to the reader, this post is going to be completely self indulgent.

I came across this website, 1st Option and fell head over heels crazy in love with some of their homes. The looks run the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous. Enjoy!

White is to interiors what black is to fashion. It's ultimately versatile and makes a great base for a fabulous room. You start with some white hot furniture, add coloured walls, accessories and you've got a no fail recipe for dynamite decor.
