For some reason i feel as if I've always been more accepting of dark wall colors in interior design before it became "The New Trend." Yes mom, you can roll yours eyes all you want with your ridiculous OCD and Phobia for dark walls because at the moment, "Horror Is The New Chic."

The idea book is all about dark wall colors we have always pushed away like navy, dark chocolate, black and charcoal. However disturbing this may sound to all those who share the same phobias as my mom, when these colors are done right and with the right disciplines it could turn elevate and the style of the room and believe it all not but it could also increase the intimacy of the room too.

Here are the few things these colors could bring to your room...

Channeling Intimacy.
For rooms such as the parlor, bedroom or a large living space, feeling intimate and cozy is a neccesary desire demanded to be present in the room. Dark colors will bring that feeling of closeness you need and will also elevate the feeling of warmth on the eye and privacy which is ideal for conversations with friends.



Create Contrast.
There is nothing beautiful like a little drama in the room. Dark walls with dark comfortable leather chairs contrasted with warm wooden colors on the ceiling and on the floor will aways create a tricky balance that will always give your guests something to talk about. What a nice way to start a party with questions like, "There is something so ...i just cant put my finger on it...what is it?"

Highlights.
When dark walls are paired with the opposites like red, yellow and green it does channel drama and beauty in the room and keep you walking in the blurred lines of a contemporary feel blended with the floral and colorful Mediterranean feel. The opposites also creates their own unique balance, yes i know, it is like the yin and yang theory all over again but this pop of color on the in dark walls is worth a try because instead of washing out the color of other decors, it enhances it.

The famous and devastatingly beautiful fashion designer, bussines woman, former spice girl and Vogues cover girl turns 40, yes, it is Miss Becks. I have always had mixed emotions towards this woman and i am sure most of you guys have too. We love her for being this powerful and self willed woman and of course we have always hated her for robbing the sexy former number seven player of Manchester United team, David Beckham.
 Victoria, we hate you for this...:) sorry not sorry...



There is nothing more beautifully compelling than a man or a woman with style. I mean seriously isn’t style the only reason why you would stare at a stranger twice or wait until he walks past you so you can secretly take his photo and instagram it?

Finding your own style that best describes you is not as hard as conjuring demons in the 21st century. Well that does not also mean it is easy because if it was then why would why would I be watching fashion police on E?

Discovering your style, developing it and owning it is a gradual process and today we are going to be taking all our fashionable men through the HOW TO steps.


Have A Skeleton.
Remember, you want to be stylish and unique and not outrageously GaGa. This skeleton therefore acts as your inspiration board. Drawing inspiration from sources like magazines and blogs can be the easiest way to see how far you are willing change and the potential style elements that you are ready to pin on your styling board. Remember to be true to yourself when doing this and an honest opinion from a trusted stylish friend can be of good use.




Groom Yourself.
Don’t wait until you have put it all together for you to start rushing out on toes trying to get the best acne treatment, shaving crème and a hair do. That is simply pathetic. Do it now! Book that appointment and get your hair done, nothing says intent to change like a good hair cut.

Pay attention to your skin and care for it, there is nothing good like a healthy skin and just because you are guy it doesn’t make you an exception. Girls will always run away from crocodiles the same way they will run away from a crocodile’s twin. So paaahlease, skin care is mandatory.





















Know Your Budget.
Dorothy Wang once said, “It is good to spend within your means” and she was right.  If you can afford to change your style with thousands of dollars, it is fine but it is not the only way. If your wallet is a bit too tight make good use of high street, eBay and sales on stores.

Remember, taking time to know the specific items you are going to shop for is going to save you money you would waste on buying something you never needed. Omg! Isn’t that like the longest sentence ever?



Embrace The Change. Own it!
You didn’t climb all the way up to easily fall off the ladder and trust me when I tell you this, most of the people do. For people to completely say that is someone’s style, the owner of it has to reflect it with love, pride and confidence



Without being confident with the new change and a positive attitude towards your new image then I am afraid to say work done is zero. Forget about the stereotypes painting stylish men as being feminine; Real men moisturise, do their manicures and check themselves on the mirror…those who don’t eff’n believe it can just DEAL.
