How do we transition colour so that openings look right from room to room? (Sound on)
In rooms that are saturated with a one-colour wrap, there are no trim colours to break the colour. Therefore, with or without a break with trim colour, the jamb always gets the colour of the larger space.
Now, there are no steadfast rules since sometimes a pocket door will present a whole different perspective, and in some cases, the jambs, as featured in the next slide, take on their own material and finish.
But it’s these small considerations in the details that make all the difference!

In this room, transitions are of a rift cut oak, and will divide the spaces intuitively. We are planning for a beautiful lacquer finish on the ceiling to animate the space but the walls trim and ceiling will connect in colour for saturated appeal.
In this two-storey Great Room, its finishing and colour reach into the upper halls. However, where it transitions into the kitchen, there is a shift in colour.
Here, the great room gets the larger part of the real estate on the jamb.
