Chocolate brown walls are really hot right now. Brown is the new black …or at least it is this season. Chocolate brown walls are super-chic and rich looking and dramatically transform a room into an elegant, grown up space. If you are color-phobic, start with painting one wall in your space a deep shade of chocolate, and accessorize with creamy white mouldings. It’s a gorgeous look, and can go across the board style-wise, from urban to suburban. (And to be green…Make sure the paint you purchase is either low-VOCs or no-VOCs. )

Color
Color sends a strong nonverbal message and is the first thing a person sees. Think about what you want to communicate and then choose colors that support that impression.
Navy: Honesty, integrity
Black: Sophistication, authority
White: Freshness, reliability
Tan: Elegance, approachability
Brown: Stability, security
Gray: Strength of character, refinement
Burgundy/Maroon: Classic, elegance
Plum: Regal, diplomatic
Teal: Inventive, soothing
Red: Passion, tenacity

Oh how I love Christopher Lowell, interior designer extraordinaire! Christopher has been working his magic for years across Hollywood and beyond. His design is just magic. His design made me fall in love with neo-classical style. From tricked out sleigh beds to gorgeous crown molding, he teaches you how to work your own room and make it gorgeous. He proclaims, “no white walls”, and teaches us how to use color to warm a room, to make a room larger, and to make your house feel like a home. I’m so excited to learn of Christopher’s new show on Fine Living Network, (a station that’s on my TV regularly.) His new show, Work That Room, will show room makeovers and how to achieve them. He’s the answer to interior design junkies everywhere. His fun, infectious spirit will inspire you and make creativity flow from your thoughts to your hands. You’ll absolutely adore Christopher Lowell. Make sure to catch his new show, Work That Room, on Fine Living Network.
