Grand Manan Black: the 2019 SICO ®
COLOUR OF THE YEAR In the kitchen or dining room Local inspiration is everywhere these days, from food to kitchen walls. Green is a colour that stimulates concentration and spurs conversation. Its dark, exotic tones free the spirit, inviting you to let your hair down and have fun. You'll adore how it looks combined with materials like natural wood and black metal.
Growing up with Grand Manan Decorating a kid’s room is the perfect opportunity to get creative. With Grand Manan Black (6161-83), you can be sure the result will be timeless as well as attractive. This dark shade looks best with bold prints, minimalist furniture, and accent colours like Tawny Port (6074-52) for a new twist on classic decor elements. Incorporate animal-inspired accents to treat your little one to a daily safari!
Grand Manan, like the New Brunswick Island resplendent with desolate beaches and hiking trails, all under breathtaking sunsets. Opulent and rich, the Grand Manan Black paint colour represents nature. A true sanctuary, it invites you to gravitate towards the insular tranquility of Maritime islands and let all the beauty and serenity of the outdoors into your home.
Here’s how to incorporate Grand Manan Black into your home’s decor this year.
For a monochrome look
One flip through a decorating magazine this season and you’ll quickly see that when it comes to furniture, emerald green velvet is still very on-trend. And Sico’s colour experts didn’t go wrong with the seriously versatile Grand Manan Though its name is Grand Manan Black, it’s Black. You'll love using it for a monochrome look actually a perfect combination of black and in the living room, complemented by brushed emerald green. A true homage to Canadian land- brass accessories to impart opulence. Try adding scapes, this hopeful hue pairs marvelously with some plants to make the ambiance even more neutral shades such as Mushroom Mousse sumptuous and inviting. (6185-11) and Volcanic Rocks (6208-83).

LIVING ROOM B
eing inspired can be hard at times, especially for those who are in charge of enhancing their interiors to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment.
Building the perfect living room design, is by far one of the hardest things when it comes to home decor. This is the room you will want to put more effort in to make sure it combines comfort and elegance. It’s the room you will introduce first to your guests and where you will spend more time in. Take into consideration your décor, your lifestyle and how frequently you will use the space when you’re planning a layout.
A comfortable living space is about layers, creating conversational seating, and building a sensible room that’s both visually and functionally stimulating. A perfect living room teases and pleases the eye in a manner that feels edgy and fun while simultaneously catering to one’s need to curl up in the most casual way. >>>

True classics never fail to make an impression. Nowadays, the traditional coffee table is no longer the only way to decorate the living room; recently coffee tables are taking original shapes and designs that give the living room a unique look through unusual forms and new materials. Looking to design a highly contrasted living room? Try darker shades with bold materials like black velvet with gold accent pieces. In wide open, spacious rooms, it’s important to create different zones for more private and comfortable areas. The chesterfield sofa is sure to endure for centuries to come, a confident piece of furniture to complement even the most luxurious interiors. There’s something intrinsically luxurious and old fashioned about the curved arms, the intricate details and the classic lines with a modern reinterpretation will make this piece a timeless decorative item.
Brabbu Koi Coffee Table
For complementing this extravagant armchair, a perfect side table influenced by the symbol of Japanese Culture. Koi table from Brabbu, as loved and affectioned as the carp is also a symbol of love and friendship which will be conveyed into a modern home decor. Hope you’ve been inspired to make updates to your living room! If you’re ready to start your living room design, you may want to check out the new room design packages at Ambienceexpress.com.
