Decorating Studio

This will differ from room to room, however with any space it starts with one piece- a focal point, a color scheme, art work, etc. 

Once you have determined that- you can branch off from there. 

For example: In a kitchen you will ALWAYS choose your countertop before your backsplash- This way you are certain the colors, textures and over all visual will work. Your backsplash is the very last piece to the 'puzzle'- 

Paint colors can be the first or last step to any great design!

Absolutely!! Yes, You can! This is often the case in a small bathroom. Most tile these days come in 12"x24" which can be a bit misleading to the consumer. By adding a tile larger than 12"x12" in a small bathroom your actually doing two things:

1) Tricking the eye to think the space is larger than it actually is!

2) LESS GROUT to clean! 

This application is the new normal! 

Although not an easy installation; some tiles are even 24"x24" now, and look amazing installed!!

Designing a home using only one color, or a few shades of the same color is called a "monochromatic' color scheme. This is applied when different values and intensities are combined, all based on the same color. 

This is something that seems to be trending in 2021- kitchens & bathrooms designed using all white and grey shades. 

On the other hand; A 'complementary' color scheme is created using contrasting colors, these colors are located directly across from each other. This adds excitement to any space! 

Example: 

Red & Green tones

Blue & Orange tones

Purple & yellow tones

You may even do this without even noticing!
