Master the 60-30-10 Rule

Confused about colour schemes? You are not alone. Our designers use the 60-30-10 rule to create balance in any room.

We utilize partitions to separate the kitchen from the living area and maximize storage with floor-to-ceiling units. The goal is to avoid clutter and ensure that every corner has a purpose.

Five Things to Know Before You Start

2. Plan for traffic flow. Do not place furniture where it blocks your natural movement.

5. Hire professionals early. Pre-planning electrical points with a designer saves you from breaking walls later.
