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!

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Decor Trend | All White Rooms

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.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Design Trend | Concrete Floors

Concrete floors have become more and more popular in homes over the past few years. Forget everything you think you know about the concrete floors you find in big box stores, and feast your eyes on these works of art. Besides their beauty, durability and customizable nature, concrete floors are a "green" choice for floors.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Walk In Closets

I think it's every woman's fantasy to have a walk-in closet like the stars. The room, the abundance of pretty things, and the pristine organization. It's all too die for!

A walk-in closet is high on my wish list. It's the one thing I can't create in my current condo due to lack of space.

In the mean time, I dare to dream...
