Interior decorating has moved to dark from light. A lot of Santa Barbara homeowners would like to see shades of black, brown, and grey as opposed to pale woods. Everything, from walls to appliances, is taking on a darker shade. To so many, these darker colors balance the stresses of daily life and create a comforting ambiance.
The downside to dark decor is that like any trend, it will pass. The formica of the 50s and forest greens of the 80s definitely date a room. Nevertheless, if done correctly, your Santa Barbara home could be transformed from traditional to warm and cozy.
