In order to create a unique living space, experienced styling advice is critical.
We discuss styling elements & offer our creative ideas & professional advice.
Some of these include: colour, lighting, textiles, furniture and flooring
Colour can be quite daunting for some however, used correctly, it can influence the way we perceive the space & how we feel.
Many of my clients say they are nervous venturing into colour & tend to play it safe.
The use of a one colour scheme which is referred to as monochromatic , can be a great way to gradually introduce splashes of colour as the mood or seasons predict.
Textile considered a very important element that can evoke emotional reactions. Addding various colours & textures can alter the overall look & allow us to create depth & movement.
Lighting is one of my favourite tools &can change/alter a rooms ambiance & determines our use of the space. Adding softer lighting by way of lamps & dimmer switches will create a level of intimacy.
Texture apart from the tactile element texture used in tonal combinations of various finishes, add the element of interest that is created in a colourful scheme.
Lighter & brighter mirrors offer the additional benefit of adding light to any room. A well-placed mirror will add light & create a sense of space to any room.
Large mirrors will provide a focal point & help to tie in other decorative elements of the room.
It is important to note however, that your choice of frame compliments all the other elements rather than overpower.
