Shades such as lime green, charcoal black, jovial orange or an exotic shade of blue add personality to my designs. I also love to faux finish with over sized patterns and textures. As Shakespeare said all the world is a stage. So treat all your rooms as if they are the set for life's most important play. After all this is where we act out our most important roles, the one played by ourselves.
Lighting is a set designer's second most effective tool.
Lighting brings a room to life, creating texture on the walls with shadow and lot of ambience and mood. Lighting can also drastically change the colour on the walls. In your own home, vary the levels and type of light. Use floor cans to shine light up through the leaves of a palm tree, the light will cast wonderful shadows onto the walls. Table lamps provide for good mid level or reading light, and trochee or floor lamps give a slightly higher or third light level.
