MONTHLY UPDATE DECEMBER 2009

Colour and Design Trends 2010....

At Limited Editions we tend not to be very influenced by trends. Our focus is on working with our clients to ensure their homes please them and that the design is the best it can be. However while we eschew trendy, we recognise that we will be influenced by current colour and design trends. The skill is in selecting what works and will endure, as the best designs always do.

I have been looking at the colour predictions from Pantone and Farrow and Ball. Colours are becoming richer – gray based neutrals and intense inky darks are combined with bitter oranges and golds, as well as sharp crisp yellow greens. There are deep indigos and purples, combined with aquas and Pantone has announced that Turquoise is the colour of the year for 2010.

“Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.”

Bathrooms, Kitchens and Joinery
Limited Editions has an excellent reputation for individually designed joinery which makes storage a real feature in the design of many spaces, and this year we have also been busy designing kitchens and bathrooms.

The images below show a recent joinery project (left), and one of Philippa Whitaker’s more glamourous bathroom designs (right), completed while she was working in London. See our website for more examples of our work.

Christmas is almost here..................
2009 has been an interesting year, and we are now working on projects for 2010. We are closing the Studio for the holiday break at 5pm on Friday 18 December and we will reopen on Monday 11 January.

We thank you for your support in 2009, and wish you all a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and a happy and prosperous 2010.

With best wishes

Claire and the Limited Editions team
