Closet Love!

Whether your closet is spacious or practically pocket size, there is always a way to make it into a perfectly functioning space that you'll love!

For most people, an amazing closet seems like nothing more than a fantasy - but it really doesn't have to be that way! In the past, bedroom closets were places where clothing was hidden from view. Today, emphasis is on creating a functional, organized closet that can sometimes double as a work space or even a place to hang out!

Check out these great closet designs that I love! Would any of them work for your space?

Which one is your favourite??

That Nordic Look

Are you falling in love with the simple, calm, and cool features of Scandinavian style? This Nordic look is getting more and more popular everyday as it’s based around function and uncluttered design. One of the most prominent features of Scandinavian style is its use of natural, light coloured wood flooring.

One of the main goals of Nordic design is maximizing light – pale, light wood does this beautifully. Floor colour has a huge impact on any space and when you’re trying to make a room appear larger and spacious, light wood is the perfect tool.

Light flooring also opens you up to tons of wall colour possibilities! The room becomes the perfect backdrop for dramatic blacks, grays, and navies. Or if you love the feeling of bright, neutral spaces, pick a light grey or white to emphasize the room shape and size.

If you’re worried about your space looking too cold, add texture to relax and warm up the space. Items like woven rugs, blankets, plants, metallic light fixtures, colourful artwork, etc will all work together to make your room feel more homey!

Would you go for pale wood flooring in your home? Or do you prefer dark hardwood?

Don't Tell Me Gold & Silver Can't Be Friends.

A client recently came to me with a huge design dilemma:

We were designing her kitchen and she had fallen in love with matte black handles for her cabinets. She has also found a chrome kitchen faucet that she loved - but how could both of those things ever work with her stainless steel sink and appliances?!

My response: Do it. It will look awesome.

Variety is the spice of life! We've all heard this before - and I am very pleased to tell you that silver, gold, brass, bronze, and copper can happily cohabitate in any room! And if it's done correctly it can add just the right amount of personality and character!

Once you get into designing a home, it can be very easy to get engrossed in making sure everything matches - this limits your creative thinking. Design is not about matching. Design is about complimenting.

Nothing warms up a gray wall like hanging gorgeous antique gold and bronze picture frames. Hang industrial copper pendant lights in the middle of a modern kitchen full of chrome hardware - Why you ask? Well, why not?
