Black Paneling

 
I love the impact the black makes in this space, an amazingly clean and simple backdrop for the wood detailing in the furnishings.  Just perfect.  I am also a sucker for hidden doors and the continuation of color onto the floors.  Could you handle the drama of black in your home?

Texture.. in design

 

Sometimes it is so hard to explain the importance of texture in design, it is such a necessary thing and I think it can often be missed.  The wood on this wall is just the beginning in this space but it is one that stands out.  I love that mixed with the rug and the cocktail table.  It makes us feel like a lot is going on even though the colors are limited here.  

Do you do texture in your home?  If so I would love to hear how you add it in to your design.

 

 

Gorgeous texture

It always amazes me how a little texture can add so much warmth to a space.  I love the walls in wood and all of the contrasts!
