fall decor: dark, dramatic & moody

There is something about the colder weather that invites a moody feel. All I want to do is paint my walls dark colors and throw rich jewel tones into the mix. I'm pretty sure this look would be a little much for a home, but for that very sexy, boutique hotel it would work like charm. I love this look paired with bold hues of deep red.

Abigail Ahern is like the queen of dark and moody and you just have to love her for it. She takes these deep colors and pairs whimsical colors to keep it from being like a cave and instead is like a fabulous stage set. Tony Duquette is another decorating magician that comes to mind when I think of dark drama.

2. This week I have fallen for matte black. Partly because of this gorgeous exterior I fell in love with around Midtown.

5. In my decorista head, I vision the matte black walls and how chic they would be with these brass + glass tables.
