How to Create Calm with Contemporary Colour
The colours that please and inspire us shift over time, on an individual basis, but also globally. Our palettes morph fluidly as colours come on the scene and drift off to make way for other colours. Colours you love will never be truly out of style as they can be made fresh and contemporary by adding a more current colour to your palette.
Simplifying and Downsizing
All Shapes and Sizes: Downsizing is relative. Some consider a reduction to a 2000 square feet home a big change. While others have never lived in anything that large.
