Colour and Decor
Hello and Welcome-
The images of the model suites have generated a number of emails to the blog (We LOVE getting emails, fyi, and do share, post and brag about the ones we receive. Just so you know.)
Some regular bloggeurs have asked for more information about the decor and interior design of the actual model suites, and made references to the images we have posted.
In upcoming posts we will deal with specific questions about design, and post some tips and hints from Tara Lee, the interior designer behind the Network Lofts.
We will be starting with a series of questions we received dealing with colour. The most common question was"how do I know what colour to use?" in my new loft.
Tara Lee responds:
"Colour is always a personal choice, even though there are trends that come and go in colour palettes. I encourage my clients to explore colour when they are decorating, and consider new tones. The best advice is to use colours that appeal to you, and that mesh with your overall style and design theme. You can't go wrong using a unified colour palette for your loft.
You can also use colour to add personal touches, say, through art, mementos, cushions and fabric. Sometimes a shot of a "hot" colour (for example, red) can add a note of warmth and style to a darker toned room. Alternatively, a "cool" colour (blue, or a dark green) will serve to introduce a sense of calm and grace to a brighter space."
A note about the photographs of the model suites that appear on this blog:
We appreciate the comments about the gorgeous photographs but we have to admit (grudgingly, because we like the compliments) that they are the work of a professional photographer. Photographs like that require talent and skill, and we are delighted with the results. They most definitely are not, however, the work of the blog's camera phone.
Thanks for surfing by, and don't hesitate to send your design questions to:
taylor@targetedmessages.com
We can't promise that we will answer all of the questions we receive but we are going to try!
Best wishes from the Network Lofts blog crew,
Taylor
