Exposed concrete is a look we love. It can be used in many different ways, but always adds industrial character to a room. Adding an element of your design in exposed concrete goes well with a super contemporary scheme or can be mixed with different styles to create a complex look with lots of contrast.

Pantone’s color of the year, Rose Quartz, has made a big splash in the fashion industry and the interior design industry alike. We are loving the use of this celebrated color in home accents including wall color and furniture pieces. This warm shade of pink offers natural blush like variations that compliment many different color spectrums and give a fun, sophisticated pop. A rose quartz subway-tiled bathroom is a funky and bold way to showcase this color!

Contemporary design is popular and versatile. Sometimes it can be unfairly stereotyped as stoic or unwelcoming, and that could not be farther from the truth. These images give excellent inspiration for aesthetically pleasing and socially stimulating patio designs.

The deep grooves show off the texture of the fabric and allow you to see the different characteristics of the material. This gorgeous forest green banquette is a rich addition to this eating area.

We loved the clean, minimalist design of this kitchen so much, it became the inspiration behind our latest penthouse unit we designed for Deco Communities. The busyness of life is soon forgotten the moment you step onto the smooth, driftwood inspired, light grey floors that blend effortlessly into clean glossy white cabinets. Coming home to high ceilings, fresh white walls, and sleek wood creates a sense of tranquility and ease in your space. Natural accents bring the peace of nature onto a pure white canvas. This layout promotes a bright, serene atmosphere that harmonize perfectly with the natural light; encouraging rest, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Our latest inspiration is a timeless trend that brings elegance to any space in your home. Black doors are a crisp contrast when paired with neutrals or a black and white color scheme, leaving a dramatic impact. They bring a fresh perspective on the classic white or wooden doors, while still being a neutral color that blends beautifully into dark floors or can even disappear entirely into a dark wall to create a space that feels bigger. Black french doors create a beautiful frame to the adjoining room or outside view, while solid black interior doors balance other dark voids in the room, such as a television. The finish on this classic color can be tailored to the style of the home; matte as a modern, understated look and glossy for a more elegant space. Black is no longer a color used just for exterior doors. Bringing this color from the front door to the office door, updates a space in an unexpected and fresh way.
