INTERIOR STYLE
JO PULETUA INTERIOR STYLE & DESIGN CONSULTANT AT HARII.COM.AU @HARII.BOHEME
If you’ve been contemplating jumping on the back of the dark interior wall trend, now is the perfect time to experiment! When executed with a bit of thought and TLC, the results can be quite stunning and dramatic. Here are a few key factors to consider if you are contemplating this daring trend in your home. Start small If you really want to add that bit Friday, July 5, 2019
Say hello TO DARKNESS
of dark drama to your space but are struggling to take that leap of faith, I recommend experimenting on a smaller part of the room such as cupboard doors or window casings. See how the light interacts with the dark colour and how it affects your space. Does it make it look cosier or does it anchor the sparseness of a large space?
Mix with mirror Darker colours essentially absorb light and can end up making an area or room look dull and lifeless. Reflective surfaces such as glass or mirrors can really bring the best out of a dark space. For example a dark room with a dramatic crystal chandelier can really help to enhance the chandelier design as they contrast so much with each other.
Light ceiling White ceilings are essential for height appearance. But as well as that, it breaks the darkness of the space up. If style isn’t what you’re after and you intentionally need to create a dark room that you want no light to penetrate in, then it’s fine. But if you want dark walls to add a bit of style and drama to the space, it’s best to keep the dark paint to the walls. Home & Garden Magazine

SIMON’S HOUSE
Quick FIX WARNING
SIMONSHOUSE.COM.AU
when it comes to waterproofing issues, PLEASE RESIST! One “quick fix” in particular is the process of putting a sealant on top of the tiles to prevent water penetration. This is only a temporary fix... putting a Band-aid on it. The only way to fix the problem
WW38073
SIMON STEVENSON
I have been very vocal about avoiding the quick- fix solutions when it comes to any problems caused by waterproofing failure. While there are many reasons a waterproof membrane may fail – poor installation, building movement, inadequate dry times or it can even naturally break down over time – properly applied membranes should last several years. A good effective membrane needs to not only provide a waterproof barrier but must also be flexible to handle any reasonable movement. Now back to the quick fix issue. I know that the thought of a quicker, cheaper option can be very tempting but especially
Living Timber Co
permanently and to provide a long term solution is to remove the tiles and reapply the membrane. One other thing is that the sealants applied topically often offer an attractive warranty but if you look closely, warranty is void if cracking appears due to movement (settling, extreme weather conditions etc... happens all the time!) I strongly feel that waterproofing should be done by a licensed applicator. It’s a specialised area that requires experience and skill. Why risk it? Structural damage to your home is a real threat if problems arising from failed waterproof membrane are not addressed effectively and immediately!
