EXCLUSIVE: Whether you love it or hate it, you have to admit that the all-black look Kylie and Brad are executing on The Block is an adventurous move.

Right on cue arrived Freedom designer Jack, and like an angel from above he was there to deliver some much-needed styling advice.

In an exclusive interview with 9Entertainment, Jack also shared some of his top tips for home renovators when it comes to tackling unique design ideas.

With bold design trends like maximalist, monochrome colours and organic shapes making a comeback, Jack said it wasn't uncommon for home stylists to not know where to start.

When it comes to selecting a colour palette for a space, the interior decorator said you should "consider how you want the space to feel".

"Dark colours can create a moody atmosphere, while light colors offer a more relaxed, airy vibe. Think about how you'll use the space and the mood you want to evoke," he explained.

Once you've picked your colours the next thing to think about is texture and tone. It's especially important if you're going for a monochromatic look like Kylie and Brad.

"Use different materials to create texture and layers to ensure the space is not flat," Jack advised.

He encouraged Kylie and Brad to go for their all-black vision as long as they incorporated more natural timbers to balance it out.

And if you wanted to incorporate a daring colour or design into your home but weren't feeling up to the task of fully committing to the cause, Jack said that art and cushions were the way to go!

"Use artwork that reflects your personal taste and incorporate it into your space by repeating elements in cushions and décor pieces. This creates a cohesive look that ties your style together throughout the room," he said.
