Designer Tip Tuesday: Have you ever heard of the

Designer Tip Tuesday: Have you ever heard of the 60/30/10 + S Formula that interior designers and decorators use when creating a colour scheme for a client's home? No? Well let me take you through it. 👩‍🏫👩‍💼

Imagine you're wearing a pant suit with a blouse. You have the shoes and purse and of course you're going to wear some jewellery or maybe a scarf with this fabulous outfit. So 60% makes up the suit, 30% is the blouse and 10% could be the shoes, purse, scarf or jewellery. Get it? How many times do I have to say "Decorate as you dress!" Now let's apply this same formula to this room. 📐📏🧮

60% of the room will be in one or two main colours -- in this case the light grey on walls and sofa.
30% of the room will be in subtle and harmonious colours to help lift the main colours -- like the tan chairs and rug
10% of the room is then spiced up with some contrasting colours, like the blue throw and orange cushions on the sofa.
And the +S stands for one small black detail -- which every room needs by the way to help ground it. The small black round coffee table is our S. 🆒 right?

Its a fairly simple formula that you can use for any room when you're deliberating on a colour scheme. And if math has always been your worst subject, than hey, you can always hire me to complete the formula in your home 😉😁

May is Mental Health Month. This damn pandemic continues to take a toll on all us. I certainly do not feel guilty walking away from my laptop to get away and do something mindless. Please share what you do during the day for a mental health break.

Yes! We 💖 getting customer love from our online decor shop customers! When I open up my inbox and see a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, I do a happy dance. These wreaths have been a huge best seller in my online shop the last few years, and with Mother's Day coming up in just over 2 weeks, thought I would quickly remind you of our current stock availability for the 3 SKUs we carry. Make haste.....don't wait! Buy now cause once they are sold out I may not get more in till late fall (damn you Covid!)

And please note: due to covid, shipping times have definitely doubled, especially going into the USA. Please be patient....your item will arrive 🙏

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kitchen lighting can be a big challenge because it

Kitchen lighting can be a big challenge because it involves layering lighting. A kitchen needs overhead (ambient), accent (pendants) and task (undercounter) lighting. It is a space where people spend a lot of time cooking, eating, doing homework and entertaining. And hello........the lighting should also be pretty. 💖

When designing a kitchen for a client one of my favourite parts is sourcing the lighting. Hanging lights, like pendants, look great over islands and peninsulas. They highlight the area and look wonderful when entertaining.
Chandeliers can highlight eating areas and add a bit of drama. If you have an open concept floor plan, you may not want a fixture to obstruct any views. In this situation, glass pendants or chandeliers are a nice choice. Remember to add dimmers to lighting over the dining table.

#DESIGNERTIP Here's my rule of thumb when advising the electrician on hanging the pendants over an island, the bottom should be approximately 30” above the countertop.
