WHITE AND BLACK



LIVING ROOM The obvious contrast between the two colors allows you to highlight specific ar- chitectural features and decor additions with ease. While other color schemes come and go with changing seasons and interior design trends, black and white of- fers a safe alternative that stays relevant even decades down the line.

In fact, a black and white room can be just as dynamic as a room that's full of color, es- pecially when an abundance of texture and shape comes into play. As a bonus, black and white are remarkably serene when used to- gether, making this opposites-attract palette a natural fit for bedrooms. BEDROOM

KITCHEN Trends come and go, but the classic combo of black and white has never gone out of style. This color duo can easily work in any corner of your home, but it looks especially great paired together in a kitchen.

BATHROOM Black and white Pair a black sink with sleek wallpaper to create a luxe bath- room perfect for unwinding after a long day. To prevent black accents from darkening your overall design.

LUXURY GOLD



LIVING ROOM If you'd rather stick to a cream and gold living room where the focus is on cream walls and furnishings, look for eclectic gold accessories. Scatter a variety of gold cushions on the sofa, hang a gold-framed mirror over a fireplace and choose a contemporary chandelier or pen- dant lights in gold.

All rooms and spaces in which gold color is used look as elegant as they are stylish. And bedrooms are the most sacred and personal areas in a home BEDROOM

KITCHEN The gold kitchen decor trend is regularly ap- proached tamely with small gold kitchen accesso- ries, upgraded hardware, or maybe a gold kitchen appliance or two. However, if you really want this upmarket trend to ooze luxury and bold personality, you’ve got to go bigger.

For added opulence, consider introducing tradi- tional bathroom accessories. With attention to detail, the subtle hints of gold provided by bath- room accessories reiterate the theme of luxury throughout for a beautiful traditional bathroom. From towel rings to soap holders and robe hooks all available in gold BATHROOM

CLASSY GREEN



LIVING ROOM Green is the color of harmony and renewal. Because it echoes the hues of the natural world, it's one of the best paint colors for living rooms. If you don't have the space (or the energy) for a bevy of house plants, green walls will be the splash of life your living room needs.

If you're looking for sleep oasis, green is your best bedroom color choice. Green rep- resents: Nature, calmness, freshness, re- laxing, growth, fertility, safety, money, and endurance. BEDROOM

KITCHEN This year, green kitchens have taken the 'kitchen' hashtag on Instagram by storm; kitchen companies have been introduc- ing bolder, darker shades of green to their collections; and paint companies have inspired us with beautiful images of green-painted cabinetry.

BATHROOM Green is a calming, centering color the color of rejuvenation so it's a great choice for bathrooms. From emerald to sage, this color can provide a moment of calm before you start your day or as you get ready for bedtime. Green is an incredi- bly versatile and flexible color, perfect for modern bathrooms

ENGLISH FLOWER



LIVING ROOM The matching of accessories to furniture, whether in terms of colour or pattern, provides a nice coun- terpoint within a room. The above example of the matching pair of pink cushions and pink chairs is subtly done. It doesn't look contrived, and in fact is almost understated enough to be completely unno- ticeable.

It does use antique furniture to fill in space, and it also does utilize a neutral color that seems too simple–at least for some people. But it is unique and special. BEDROOM

KITCHEN Take time to browse through all these creative and unique ideas and start to add some rus- tic-yet-feminine touches into your cooking space with these decorating ideas.

A neutral palette of off-white or cream walls makes a perfect starting point to offset this decorative scheme or why not enhance the femininity with soft pastel tones of pink BATHROOM

ROYAL BLUE



LIVING ROOM ‘Deep, dark blue tones are generally best suited to smaller rooms that are already starved of natural light’ explains Charlie Crosby, Head of Creative at Farrow & Ball. ‘Instead of fighting the existing gloom with white, you embrace it and make a virtue of its drama in the rooms you love to relax in.’

Blue is calming and is the most recom- mended bedroom color because it pro- motes relaxation and tranquility. While it's good for sleep, it's definitely not good for appetite as it's sometimes associated with mold. BEDROOM

KITCHEN A bold shade of blue imparts a soothing tone in the sun-filled heart of this home by architect Meriwether Felt. The milky white walls beautiful- ly show off the cobalt cabinetry. The refrigera- tor seemingly disappears in this cooking space, thanks to custom panels designed to match the cabinets.

BATHROOM The royal blue wall in this classic bathroom provides crisp contrast against a white pen- ny tile floor and white wall paneling. The assertive blue color provides a handsome canvas for gold accents like a gilded frame painting and vintage-style wall sconce and contrasts beautifully with the brick wall.
