Matchy-matchy versus Harmonious

In my consulting business, I am frequently told by the client that she doesn’t want things to be too matchy-matchy.

I love some matchy-matchy.  Matching lamps flanking a bed, for example.

To look more restful, and to add to the feeling of balance in the room.

Too much matching, though,  just looks amateur. Not collected over time.

However, I always believe in HARMONY. Colors must be harmonious, especially.

Take a look at my latest paint transformation. A small bath with dated fixed finishes.

No styling, no photographic tricks, just the transformative power of the right paint color.
