Inspiring colors and various kinds of paint applications can turn your stylish visions into reality. Dare to be different if you are drawn to a dramatic color.  Don't be nervous about using it if you like it.

When making your choice, choose colors that you are passionate about.  Experts may disagree with the trend-setters in their message that the most important point about home decorating is that you "Live with What You Love".   For inspiration go through magazines and collect pictures of themes that interest you.  Be creative in ways to adapt the ideas you like into practical decorating projects that you can bring to fruition.

The following ideas are trendy and contemporary, maybe not "neon chic" but they are about loving and living with color and making our rooms comfortable inviting retreats.

Our Natural World

Nature envelopes us and charms us with continually changing patterns.  Through the ages cultures have draped themselves in earthy or exotic colours.  Today, our homes reflect the fascinating colour blends of autumn leaves, grain fields, and mountain meadows; the unblushing serenity of sandstone, birch bark and river pebbles or the bold appeal of ripe apples or a peacock bathed in sunlight.

Bring the Rest of the World Closer to Home

Blending the things we love with charming discoveries of other cultures brings appealing colors, textures and richness into our surroundings.  Looking at fashions, furnishings and finishing touch items on the market we see the world and its traditional influences of color, style and patterns.

Retreat and Relax

Whatever looks and feels comfortable, cozy and serene becomes the essence of comfort in our homes. We are striving for more relaxed environments, a place to unwind and lose the stress of our hectic days, furnishings that are inviting and simple, colors that are easy on the eye, calm, natural earthy tones and textures.

Live With What We Love

While our rooms have personalities we want to portray we still have functional furnishings that are too expensive to replace, heirlooms that are precious, or treasures from family or travel we cannot part with.  We integrate what we love into our living spaces.  We learn to build rooms around our treasured keepsakes or simply create themes around treasured memories.

We create an attitude in our homes with splashes of modern interspersed with displays of heirlooms and antiques, all framed by walls that can be the color of our heritage or more dramatic displays that rouse the spirit or please the soul.

Visit our ColorLife display where you will find a vast array of colors that will add character, charm or luxury to any room in your home.  Don't compromise on your paint color selection - Use our Home Visualizer system or explore the variety of take home brochures from the ColorLife collection.
