Emerging Trends and Colour Stories - Winter Wonder

Winter Wonder is a rich, textured look with plenty of contrasts.  It is, by far,  my favourite colour combination of the year.  Pairing a beautiful deep nordic blue, with greys, and shimmery whites gives it a luxurious feel. 

Think weathered woods, barnboards, faux cowhides and lambskins.  Add these natural smoky coloured elements with some shimmer but restrained use of colour.  Dark browns, bark and cableknits also get into the mix.

Now to translate that to a room setting,  here is an example of how well these elements work together.  This living room has a dramatic, yet serene appeal.

Winter Wonder is a versatile look you can have fun with.  Using the various textures with muted blue- grey tones makes for an interesting impression.  Below are some other combinations that work well using this winter wonder palette.

I am happy to say I am again creating a festive room for The Junior League of Hamilton-Burlington Holiday House Tour this year with my fellow decorator Nicole at Purple Lotus Interiors.  In my next blog I will tell you all about that!
