Tips from The Cat Fashionista

Elegance is Born, not Bought

We need space that liberates us from terra firma, allowing our spirits to soar and our imaginations to take flight. The best interiors are light-filled and the choice of colour is paramount in setting the mood.

Colour is a major element in scale. A small room can have a larger look by the use of closely related values, hues, and intensity.

A large room can be made to look smaller by marked contrasts of color and value, hue, and intensity.

Value is one of the most important elements. Whether light or dark, little value contrast makes for unity, and sharper contrast makes for stronger punctuation.

In my view, no space without natural light is worthy of feline occupation.
