Spring has Sprung
Plunge into Black
The trend for dark seductive walls is a classic. It’s great to use matt black paint or black textured wall-coverings for an intimate atmosphere, such as the dining room, Entrance Hall or your Snug. It gives elegance to any design, period or contemporary, and is a perfect background for displaying art.
Keep the woodwork and ceiling in a strong white, for a sharp contrast, and floors in a neutral palette. Use mirrors, chrome or gilt to bounce light and then accent with rich woods, tan leathers and animal prints to give a feeling of warmth.

Burnt Orange goes Pop
Admiring Hermes new spring window display, in Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, inspired me to put together a little compilation of looks with Burnt Orange. I believe Pantone have announced that Tangerine Tango is the colour of 2012, but everyone with an eye has known that orange is a fabulous colour to add to a room, it gives it a feel good factor, giving energy and adds pop. It might be out of some peoples comfort zone, but push your boundaries and accessorize with it’s vibrancy. It goes wonderfully with black, taupe and light grey.
