reference guide, so you can design, on your own timeline at your
own pace.

Benjamin Moore's colour designers are forecasting "Vintage Wine, 2116-20" as Envision Colour's 2011 Colour of the Year. Vintage wine is an anchoring, rich hue that combines the comfort of a brown with the luxury of a smoky violet.

Sonu Mathews, Senior Manager of architectural and design markets, describes it best, "It's a colour that's is luxurious and comfortable at the same time. Violet has always been a colour linked to royalty because it was so hard to get the dye (dye for violet was created by crushing mollusks and not everyone could get their hands on thousands of those little treasures.) That reputation followed as violet was used rather exclusively for royal garb and the robes of religious leaders. Vintage Wine has a layer of rich brown which is culturally a colour of comfort and familiarity. Think of things that give us a sense of relaxation like nature (soil/wood), chocolate... when the two sensations come together, we have Vintage Wine to represent the idea of balance."

Yes, Wallpaper is back... but let's face it... we knew it would come around on the design cycle once again. Not to fear though! Those over the top garden patterns, chintzy borders... all a thing of the past... replaced by timeless elegant patterns, bold rich textures, fresh modern colours, with many brought to you by some of the world's top designers.

Clarke & Clarke, Graham & Brown, Raymond Waites, Stacy Garcia, Carey Lind, and Candace Olsen. Top designers from around the globe, have helped to empower the new home owner to exercise their own funky sense of style. The neutral monochromatic look of the nineties has become, well, oh so nineties, and inspiration is coming from all places. Coverings that look like leather, damasks, shiny gold and silver metallics are all available and as well... budget friendly.

An instant impact... a blast of style is easily attainable as a feature wall in the living room, a master bedroom and even in the ensuite. Easy to keep clean and most importantly, the wallpapers of today are removable, not nearly as tough to remove as they were twenty years ago.
