I love the dark colours, as much as I love all white interiors. But I think it's the purity of a consistent colour palette that I like. I want to take the leap and do a charcoal foyer - any colour and paint recommendations?
Those dark colors are really divine. I have been obsessing over those bubble glass fixtures and now, even more! Plus that staircase, while it wouldn't work in my house, I love the idea. Great post!
I remember seeing the superb house at top - so beautiful. The glossy dark floors are really appealing and the gloss actually makes them quite cheerful. I agree with Karen, the black and brown together almost amount to a monochrome, the way cream and white do. The uniformity of the background lets the objects (that incredible standard lamp) pop out. And those unusual chandeliers!
The mirrored tiles on the stairs really speak to me. I love the juxtaposition with the older elements.
