By using a classic grey with warm undertones, I created a timeless canvas on which to paint brilliant accent colours. Saturated blues and violet tones mix subtly with the grey, giving way to a quiet calmness.
Raspberry juxtaposed with a hint of summer squash presents a burst of colour that brightens Ottawa’s cold, colourless winters. Bold floral accents and occasional chairs give permission to have fun with design.
Wood finishes are trending to a natural weathered feel. Combined with glass and muted metals, a sleek city vibe emerges. Textural elements add another layer of interest.
I have a passion for colour! What does your inner colour sense tell you?
Think about curling up with a good book in the room you create, and don't forget to celebrate your colour!
