If you read my blog at all, you know I love a good light fixture. I can't help it - they make me happy.

Recently, I was going through lighting catalogues while working with a client and came across all the gorgeous new light fixtures from Canarm for 2017! They're really grasping the industrial modern look and I'm loving what they are turning out!

Black & White Design

May 17, 2017/ Meghan Winsor

How do you decorate with black and white? For any room, the first step is to decide how you want the room to feel. Words like calming, dramatic, sophisticated, classic, chic, and cozy can all be great descriptives. Find inspiration in fabulous fabric or a piece of art. Take cues from high fashion, and go for bold contrast - but the most important thing is that you absolutely must be ready to make a statement or else it will fall flat.

Nothing packs a more powerful interior design punch than this bold color combination. To create a high-impact monochrome scheme that's far from boring or cold, the right lighting is key. Soft, off-white glow adds lovely warmth to this living space. Stylish glass panels, a touch of pretty pattern and reflective mirrored surfaces further liven up the interior.

Using contrasting materials while keeping the colour palette consistent is the perfect way to achieve harmony and depth in your space. A real mix of textures: from black walls, white-painted bricks, wood floors, jute rug and metallic touches to linen, wool and faux-fur finishes, all come together bringing bounds of interest and warmth.

Check out these black and white interior spaces!

Do you feel inspired to take on a black&white design concept??

Grey Kitchens

May 11, 2017/ Meghan Winsor

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 are 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!
