Thunderbird Cabin

Who says you can't have a country cabin paired with a moody modern interior? Michelle Berwick, principal and creative founder of Michelle Berwick Design, did exactly this with the renovation of her Canadian cabin on the lake. "I always had this idea of a black cabin in the woods," Michelle says.

Renovations took just under a year and resulted in a complete gutting of the original structure. Michelle was able to start fresh with her dream cabin. "Part of the fun of designing your own space is that you aren't limited by client feedback," Michelle says. This gave Michelle the freedom to bring her own vision to life.

DARK AND DREAMY

A dark color palette doesn't have to be intimidating. Follow Michelle's tips for creating an eye-catching, balanced design with dark hues.

CREATE BALANCE. The most common fear with a moody palette is making the home feel too dark and claustrophobic. The key here is balance. "You can have moody spaces in your home without having the entire home be dark," Michelle says. Each space in her cabin features a mix of both dark and light.
