Trout:  The clients of this Woodbury, Minnesota home are slowly updating their home room by room to bring this home from the 90’s to the present day.  For this project, the client wanted to not only remove all the golden oak and brass prevalent during that era, but they wanted to create visual contrast by using a dark and stormy color.

We landed on a deep “Caviar” hue by Sherwin Williams.  We replaced all the base moulding in a contrasting white enamel and converted honey oak doors and casing to a deep black.  Visual balance and symmetry were achieved by painting the adjacent fireplace surround in the same color. This dark hue not only ushers in warmth amongst a rather neutral palette backdrop but deviating from colors that are too “matchy-matchy” lends a fresh feel to this room.  This home refresh now exudes modern sophistication.
