From clothing to interiors, dark hues continue to move me this season. What else can I say except for…Bring on the drama.  A high contrast array of dark walls, honey colored floors, and white cabinetry [featured in 25 Beautiful Homes, August 2006] seem to have come full circle to next year’s list of hottest decor trends.

Black makes the greatest impact when paired with white. Think a black tuxedo worn with a crisp white shirt. There’s nothing sexier, don’t you agree? Go a step further and add a pop of color, like chartreuse, and go from traditional to trendsetting.

Are you brave enough to venture to the dark side?
