Color style for 2009 draws inspiration from both nature and nurture. With increasing numbers of homeowners remaining in place, many are searching for options to refresh and reinvigorate their living spaces. By simply changing the paint color in a room, all spaces in the home become reinvention candidates. Key drivers for 2009 color choices include aspirations that create a comfortable and tranquil home environment coupled with a return to authentic and sustainable materials. In contrast, lively color use and bold patterns will find their place as an alternative to more sedate living areas.

Gray will act as an important neutral in both residential and commercial spaces. Intense colors will tone down to more restrained and elegant shades -Reds and Oranges will have a yellow undertone (the undertone is really important when choosing paint colors!) -Blues will have a slight undertone of violet (in other words, they will lean more purple) -Yellows and greens will be more yellow-based (think avocado), and some will have a touch of blue, too (think green gemstone shades). Neutrals will be inspired by nature such as stone, wood, and natural textiles like linen. Grays will range from light to dark and be utilized as a main neutral, with a touch of brown, that ever popular “natural neutral”. To picture gray-brown, think about a set of French Gray markers. In French Gray, brown is used to warm up the color (as opposed to a Cool Gray, which is blue based).

Some Designer Tips:
Decorating is an act of passion, not just pulling out your wallet - so don't worry if your budget's a little tight. Here are our tips for decorating on a budget. You'll love the results ...
1 Train your eye: Know what great high end design pieces look like so that you can have them in mind while hunting for just the right piece within your budget and remember, if you don’t see it on our floor, just ask us - our boutique is just a small showroom for all of the pieces we bring in for our clients.
2 Be patient: Wait for floor sample sales (usually July and/or January) to get the piece you really want. Don’t feel like you have to race to finish your space. You want to find the right thing at the right price, not just anything at the right price…
3 Spend some money: All on-the-cheap rooms just look cheap, not chic. Every room needs a few splurges - special pieces that announce their quality. Decide what “splurge” means to you and do it!
4 Go big with accessories: Many tiny items make a place look cluttered and inexpensive. Instead opt for important accessories like standing floor vases, plump floor cushions, pillar candles rather than tea-lights.
5 Use texture: Combine shiny, matte, soft and rough natural textures to add richness to a space. Sparkle always adds a dash of glamour.
6 Don't scrimp on the size of your area rug: Many nice rooms are ruined by the use of a postage-stamp sized rug. Can't find one big enough and don't want to spend the earth: go to a broadloom store and order a piece to be cut and bound (choose a sisal look-a-like in wool or synthetic fibre).
7 Decorate with black and white: Just like with fashion, these colours (or non-colours) never look tired and combined can result in dramatic spaces that look like their total price tag was much higher that the actual cost. It is also easy to add cushions or other accessories in seasonal bold colours to make the look your own.
8 Buy gutsy lamps: Lighting is often an after-thought when decorating on a budget but spindly, too-small lamps are a common faux-pas. Instead, layer your lighting (overhead, task, ambient), switch bulbs to halogen or natural daylight bulbs and buy lamps that have a sculptural appeal.
And remember ...
• Pace yourself; accept the fact you won’t be able to get it all done at once.
• Set a budget limit and target date for project completion; this will help avoid the tendency to keep adding to the room design, increasing overall cost.
• Concentrate on one area at a time. For instance, a single room decorating project, instead of the house as a whole.
• Have a clear cut idea of the type décor and design you want; including color scheme, decorating theme, and the type mood you want to create.
• Look at the contents of each room with a fresh eye. Sometimes by keeping and rearranging base pieces of furniture and adding a few new accessories, the desired effect can be achieved.
• When redecorating, don’t over do it. Keep in mind the main function of the room; select a style, and stick to it.
• New wall paint and wallpaper are both cost effective ways to improve home interior design.
• Accessory items (such as a wall mirror, pictures, decorator throw pillow, vases and lamps) are quick, economical decorating solutions to brighten a room for a more modern home design.
