Stop Using these Paint Colours!
Let’s be honest about this black and white trend that’s been dominating design lately. It’s been like a security blanket for designers (and even homeowners) who get nervous when it comes to making colour choices. That's because it feels safe. But did you know that it's already dated?

Is Accessible Beige the right neutral paint colour for your home?
Colour trends have been warming up for a few years now as the either-paint-it-white-or-black-trend quickly wanes. And along with the comeuppance of warm neutrals is the expected confusion around describing nuanced colours. Clients in my eDesign department have been asking for “darker whites” and “creamy neutrals” for a few seasons now.

Today, I’m breaking it down step-by-step in a YouTube video! You’re going to want to save it for when you need to make a decision about trim colour.
Design is personal when you decorate. But if you don’t know how to decorate, or you choose furniture that is the wrong style, scale, size or colour, well that’s when you end up spending a lot of money on stuff you’re not real happy with in the end. This builder-chosen linear fireplace design has to STOP. I’ve been seeing this fireplace too much. So much so, that I need to flat out tell you right now to NEVER let your builder install this in your house.
