Top 10 Statement Making Accent Chests

A unique, decorative chest can bring personality to any space.  I am currently on the hunt for the perfect, accent chest for a client and have been overwhelmed with the many stunning pieces that are available. 

 Easily style these chests with a table lamp, a pile of books or a small vase with flowers and a piece of hung artwork above.

Design of the Week: Pretty Pastels

The neutral backdrop has allowed the pastel accents to truly pop! Shades of coral, blue and yellow give a bright and cheerful atmosphere and the black, zebra area rug anchors the space and brings it all together. A great design tip - if you are not ready to commit fully to a wallpaper, adhere the paper to canvases and create the perfect wall art!

pattern, pattern, pattern

There is nothing better than adding a pop to any room with a striking pattern. Here are a few easy ways to add pattern to your space!

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is one of my favorite ways to add a beautiful pattern! Choose a bold pattern that will create a statement in your room.

Tile

To make a subtle statement, select a plain tile and lay it in a unique way, such as the herringbone subway tile!

Accessories & Fabrics


Add pattern with accessories, rugs, pillows and curtains to add a pop that can easily be changed out! Don't be afraid of layering patterns! The more patterns, the more interest.

COLOUR SPOTLIGHT

TURQUOISE

Turquoise has been on trend for interiors the past couple years and I am absolutely loving it!

BENJAMIN MOORE: BIRDS EGG, CLEAR SKIES, GOSSAMER BLUE, ICEY MOON DROPS, OCEAN AIR, PALLADIAN BLUE, SEAFOAM, SERENITY, TRANQUIL BLUE

Pair this striking blue, green shade with a neutral, such as gray or white, and you instantly have a stunning combination.

By introducing turquoise on a small scale, such as accessories, pillows or an area rug, it allows the versatility to change your accent colour in the future, inexpensively. I love the look of the turquoise cabinetry in this stunning kitchen but you have to be fully committed to the colour.
