To me, dark interiors are mesmerizing and intoxicating. They have an interesting look and feel, and almost give that sensation of being wrapped up comfort and sophistication. I love how dark colours naturally draw attention to a space. Darker colours have a presence in a space and can make things seem much grander, giving that sophisticated vibe.
Black interior grounds aren’t for everybody, but I believe with pattern and print to liven it up, the flat colour is a great way to change those views of dark being gloomy. If colours aren’t your thing, copper, gold, brass, and chrome all sing when placed against a black surface.

For my graduate collection, my goal is to create an assembly of small collections that are fit for dark interiors, with vibrant pattern and luxe finishings on wallcoverings, soft furnishings and hard materials. I am text block.
