Colour Matching with Farrow & Ball

Is it really a perfect match ........

1/20/2020

I dabbled with various paints in the UK until I landed on Farrow and Ball. Sure it was more expensive but the quality and consistency gave a very luxurious feel. When my clients asked me for wall...

Farrow & Ball and the Natural History Museum have collaborated on a range of sixteen new paint colours inspired by Werner's Nomenclature of Colours.

Thibaut Wallpaper and Fabric Patterns on Patterns

Available at Nicola Jane Interiors at The Shoppes at Lafayette, New Jersey

You know I’m a lover of Fabric’s and Wallpaper. For me matching patterns is so much fun but may seem a little daunting. There are a few simple rules you can follow to achieve that magazine look.
Rule 1: Start with a color. If you have a multicolored pattern that you have fallen in love with pull one of the colors from your selected pattern. Patterns can bring elements of interest to a...

Animal Print From Thibaut

2/27/2019

Over the past few months I have had clients requesting animal prints which inspired me to write this blog. After a few years of grey tones what I am seeing more and more is a resurgence of contrast with clients typically looking for fabrics to add a pop of pattern to an otherwise plain space. Patterns don’t have to be ‘in your face’ to make an impact in a room. For example you could...

Retro is Back

7/11/2018

In an age of technology where sleek lines rule and everything has value and function, like smart fridges and voice activated remotes, it warms my heart to see the design industry embrace what once was.

Of course fashion and style is a never ending merry go round but I am loving the juxtaposition of old coupled with new - the contrast of pieces with lines taken from the 1950’s or 60’s...
