It's funny how one relatively small decision can create a ripple that changes the direction of a project.
Whilst looking at carpets for The Terrigal Project (classic beige tones as requested by client), they asked what I had selected for our own home and I pointed it out. They loved it immediately. This then lead me to looking for charcoal hued tiles for the bathroom floors to tie in.
I sent the clients to check out this display and they fell in love with the red walls! Ummm... the brief was beachy - coastal! But hey, this is their house...yup, we can work with this.
They then found a set of 10 dining chairs they loved. Super comfy, on sale, as is. This is the fabric.
This is leading me back to the original brief.... sandy hues and a more relaxed vibe.
When I decorate my own homes, they evolve slowly... as finances allow. One decision leads to the next and adds to the former framework. Assisting in decision making for a total revamp, all at once is very challenging. I think if given total carte blanche it may be relatively easy to get a cohesive design happening but the wide ranging tastes and indecision of my friends at each step is proving difficult. I am feeling increasingly out of my depth.
Any tips warmly welcomed!

RED tiles????
ReplyDeleteOh my!
B, you always make me smile with your conservativeness. (I'm with you though with the red tiles!)
DeleteP.S. Personal question: Do you wear red lipstick? I think you should!
xxxoooo KL
Red lipstick? No. I never wear lipstick :( my lips just don't agree with it. Why though? :)

I know you only have a tiny, half pic of you on your site but I think with your colouring it would look WOW. Like an unexpected surprise. ?
Deletex KL
hehe. It certainly would be an unexpected surprise :)
DeleteLove the grey! But I could be biased. I have them in my own home. I have deep burnt orange in the bathrooms, instead of red. Which I just cannot abide. Will post a pic if you like?

Hey TDM, YES PLEASE! I'm pretty conservative on the colour side, except for black (but yes, I know it's a tone and all that... bla bla.. ha ha! Mind you, in my not so distant past I've painted rooms blood red, navy and mustard!)
DeleteI've had a personal abhorence for orange since the 80's when I sported a said colour jumpsuit, but the colour's back on my radar. Am blaming Hermes. (That sounds good doesn't it? LOL!)Soooo... yes, please post a pic of my new fav colour!
