18 8 Dear Debbie; We have installed a very small bathroom in the attic, under the pitched roof, and would like some ideas on how to decorate. I've heard that light colours make a small space bigger but find that quite boring. Thank you. Sean Dear Sean; Oh, | do love to break the rules, and most of them don't hold up in every situation anyway. Dark colours shrink a space -- not always. Multiple pattems look too busy. There's a secret to this. No room for plants -- there's always room to invite the outdoors in. Have some fun.

The wall colour is called Railings, from Farrow and Ball's Jungle Cot lection. They have chosen a selection of shades that evince the drama and serenity of natural floral and jungle habitats from soft . rose pinks and greens to misty greys and watery blues. Here, the deep blue/grey paint colour is perfectly paired with white for a checkerboard backsplash and note the two sizes of tile. The zigzag rug adds another pattem to the mix, but not too busy as the colours match up. Pots of plants flaunt their variegated leaves to build a welcome, homey ambiance against the dramat- ic yet neutral backdrop. The white wood floor, pale wood shelves and mirror frame are a natural choice and keep the room feeling light and airy. Choose main fixtures on the small size. A pedestal sink is a good choice as it lets the eye move past it, pushing the wall back. Open shelves do-the same. Create your own vignette be it jungle themed or modem chic. There's lots of inspiration at farrow-ball.com. Dear Debbie; -- We have bought a new condo.

We were wondering about adding crown mouldings? Would they suit a modem space? Do we need to continue the look to the bedrooms? Clive Dear Clive; Decorative crown mouldings bring dimension and architectural interest to a room. They are like the icing on the cake, adding extra flavor and flourish to a plain base. Although strongly associated with.traditional style and older homes, they can be successfully applied to a modem space. Consider your overall design. What . 1s your personal preference? You can make this room do your bidding. If you have contemporary fumishings with straight lines, choose a moulding that is similarly plain. Check out all the styles at your home store or the intemet -- you will be amazed at the selection. Look at ceiling trim as well. If your fumishings are more traditional, pattemed, sculpted and even eclectic, you can tum to mouldings that are deeper and provide more detail. Rather than pay the price for a deep moulding, choose two more economical designs and layer them. When painted they will blend into one. Baseboards in new._builds are typically small. Replace with a higher tim to match the depth of the crown moulding or your room will appear top heavy. The main living area stands on its own. The bedrooms can remain unadomed, especially if the ceil "ing height has dropped. But again, it is your design sense that. should lead you. A romantic bedroom with carved mouldings, deep baseboards and a ceiling comice surrounding a classic chandelier would be magical. Enjoy tuming your new space into the age and style you love.
