Make it stand out!
A real mix of colours and intensities makes this palette exciting and new. Look for ways to introduce lots of patterns, big and small. Add a touch of lush green and you’ve got the perfect celebration of Mother Nature.

Make is soft and pretty!
Pastel colours are always so popular for Spring especially when you mix lovely shades of yellow, ochre and blush pink. Such a modern but pretty colour palette.

Make it barely there!
The palest of pale colour with a variety of texture can be a beautifully sophisticated colour palette. Look for creams and white fabrics to help emphasize this natural and neutral landscape. It’s all about softness and airiness.

APRIL: What you need to know!
The sunken living room is on it’s way back and not just because everything 70’s seems to be trending these days. There are many benefits to stepping down into a room. Let’s go over all the positive aspects you might consider.

The step-down creates a space that feels more intimate than if it were all on the same level.
Secondly, incorporating steps into the design of the main open concept layout can provide opportunities for custom millwork that straddles both levels as well as creative design ideas for the actual stairs. In this case, the steps create opportunities for displaying books and artifacts.
Creative Levels
Creating level changes that can be used for displaying books and artifacts as well as custom millwork.
And finally, it allows for taller ceilings, without changing the actual ceiling line. Adding height to any room is one of those universal design challenges. Take advantage of higher ceilings by creating a soaring focal point like a tall fireplace.
