A lot of the time, having a Christmas tree in your hallway isn't always the most ideal situation. Your hallway can be a high traffic area that requires lots of space - but there's nothing like entering a home during the holiday season and seeing a beautiful Christmas tree greeting you as you walk in! Not everyone has the space for a big tree but you can have a smaller tree which can add just as much impact! Christmas trees come in all different shapes and sizes so see which size works best for you and have some fun decorating it!

Happy decorating! :) Another Christmas post is coming soon!

Benjamin Moore's 2017 Colour of the Year

BENJAMIN MOORE'S COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2017 IS..

Drumroll, please!
Shadow – 2117-30

Benjamin Moore has officially announced its 2017 Colour of the Year, and it sure is causing a stir in the design world!

After researching design trends for the past year in furniture, art, fashion, and architecture, the design team at Benjamin Moore have decided that the colour of the year is a beautiful shade of amethyst.

Ellen O’Neill, Creative Director at Benjamin Moore says “It is a little bit rock and roll. It’s the color of the galaxy but also the color of a beautiful fig. It’s passion, it’s bravery, but it’s also silence. It can be electrified or softened. That’s what I like about it—it’s versatile.”

I find the colour to be dramatic, sophisticated, and classy. It’s a fabulously rich colour for an office, library, or dining room and it would definitely give a luxurious feel to any space.

What do you think of this beautiful shade of purple? Are you loving this choice?

Grey Kitchens

As we all know, grey is continuing to dominate as a neutral hue in home design these days. This colour has the ability to make a space feel warm & cozy or cool & sophisticated depending on what shade of grey you pick. In the past few years, it has also managed to become a prominent colour in kitchen cabinet design. Designers are using tips and tricks to make grey shine into a unconventional colour choice for kitchens that looks absolutely stunning! 

There is two main things you need to know when working with grey in kitchens:

1. Cool greys pair beautifully with warm finishes: wood, greenery, and colours such as red, yellow, or orange.
2. Warm greys look awesome when combined with other neutrals such as white, black, or navy.

Even if grey cabinets are too much for you, there are other ways to incorporate grey into your kitchen – seating, countertops, lighting, and backsplash are all great ways of getting some grey in there! Choose a barstool with grey patterned fabric or a beautiful light grey subway tile! Whether your style leans traditional or modern, these features will always fit in!
