Good morning! Pantone has just announced two colors of the year for the first time ever! They are "Serenity and Rose Quartz"- pale blue and pink. These will be the "in" colors next year across fashion, makeup and interior design according to Pantone: “In many parts of the world we are experiencing a gender blur as it relates to fashion, which has in turn impacted color trends throughout all other areas of design,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone’s executive director.

As seen on Design Milk , this Westwood condo gets a much needed and long overdue update. From dark and dated and stuck in the 80s, it’s now white, bright and full of life. Adding to its eclectic coziness, the fireplace’s former brick surround was replaced with our in-stock Serengeti cement tiles in a graphic black and white concrete tile pattern.

Merging old and new, Cat Hill Barn in Sheffield, England, is a striking conversion of a 16th-century barn. Snook Architects successfully achieved a design where contemporary living needs are met within a timeless building in the hills of Yorkshire. “Despite a difficult process with the local planning officer, Snook won planning permission on appeal,” the architects said. “Key in winning the support of the appeal officer was the restrained aesthetic of the scheme, which delibe

Susceptible to fire, disease, and a certain red-headed bird, wood is a vulnerable natural material. Perhaps that's at the root of its appeal to me—unlike stone, it is not permanent. This thick slab, with its subtle imperfections of texture and pattern, is a wonderful contrast to the uniformity of the concrete-coated cabinet doors. leicht.com.

It’s no longer a seller’s market in real estate. While home prices keep on rising every year, buyers have many options to choose from and think twice before making a buying decision. No matter how beautiful a home is, buyers will never make an offer if it is filled with clutter or has a bad smell. Avoid these home staging mistakes many sellers make.

A modern open floor plan. Image source: Webb & Brown-Neaves Turn on any home-design TV show and you’ll repeatedly hear the words “open concept.” Tearing down walls to create open floor plans for the living, dining and kitchen area is what open-concept design is all about. For some, separate rooms still hold their charm. But many homeowners today are taking a sledgehammer to their traditional floor plans so they can enjoy cooking, eating and movie watching all in one space.

Life of an Architect

NOVEMBER 29, 2015

Have you ever tried shopping for an architect? I bet you hated it … because architects are kind of snobby ( and I can say that since I am an architect ). I have been assembling this list for about 10 months and spent a chunk of my weekend pulling it all together – putting some new things on the list, and taking some old things off. When I counted everything up, I only had 21 times on here and, well, what sort of number is 21?

The creative team at Circle Line Interiors designed their own warm, welcoming office in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. A challenging factor of the project was the building’s high ceilings (more than 14 feet) and windows. “We had to think outside the box when we planned the space,” the designers said. “The solution was to create a stage-like construction, with one communal table along the line of windows.

These hues happen to be two of my favorites, Rose Quartz and Serenity are here to transform our homes. The opportunities for home design and decor with two colors to incorporate, leaves for endless possibilities!
