Jane Lockhart Jane Lockhart is a familiar face from design and decor television. She’s also about to celebrate her 25th year heading her own design firm. We spoke to Jane about some of the most challenging decor dilemmas homeowners encounter. And, bonus, Jane – always a pro trendspotter – offered us some insider info about colour and style trends that are on the horizon.
KL: What is your go-to neutral colour to paint walls? What is a more daring colour that you would like to start using in your interior projects?
JL: For a good, all-around neutral that works well with grey or any of the new creams, beiges and cognacs, my go-to is Sea Salt CSP95 from Benjamin Moore. It’s a classic taupe that never goes out of style regardless of the trends. I would love to see more Velvet Cloak CSP-480, also from Benjamin Moore, as a daring new direction. It’s a “blackened” burgundy, a warm alternative to navy or black. It’s grounding and delicious all at once.
