Design & Decor Tips

Black & White...is always right!

The appeal of black and white interiors has never gone out of style and I think it's in part because of it's simplicity and mass appeal but also that this colour scheme offers so much versatility in terms of style and palette combinations.

KITCHENS

The white cabinet has been the number one choice in kitchens for decades.  
Add in black quartz countertops, chalkboard paint, checkerboard black & white tiles or wrought iron door knobs and white subway tiles -- it's an instant classic.

BATHROOMS

It's the ultimate colour for the perfect bathroom retreat inspired by the divine, ever popular white marble tiles that come in every shape and size you can imagine.  But if you want to add some edge to that white room, touches of black will really add drama to wake you up in the morning!

But what I love the most is when a black and white room is mixed with lots of texture for warmth - reclaimed wood, velvet, linen, luxurious cashmere throws, metal accents and vintage mirrors
