We are huge proponents of designing with your gut. By that we mean, lean into whatever design concepts and elements evoke the strongest, most positive emotion from you, whether that translates into a lighter, softer colour palette or a darker, moodier one like this kitchen that we designed for a century home in historic Charlottetown. If you find that a white colour palette maintains its appeal to you over time, then it sounds like white has your heart and you should unapologetically embrace it! Sometimes
