A peek into my home & the happy kind of blues…

February 13th, 2015

Our home was styled this week for a photo shoot, we were going for a winter look & had lots of fun swapping out my bright, summer colours for a more muted, moody winter colour palette. It showed how easy it is to create a completely different look when you have a neutral canvas to work with - simply by swapping around rugs, cushions, throws & artwork, a whole new look was created in just a couple of hours…

Inky blues & indigos were the favoured shades for the day, so I am feeling inspired to talk about blue today, to show how versatile this colour can be in the home…

BLUE ON BLUE…

The monotone palette for our living room make-over - multiple shades of blue from deep navy, moody indigo to soft blue-grey. Cool blues are balanced out with warmer tones from the rattan, wood, natural jute & metallic gold rug.

TEAL BLUE & YELLOW

A fresh, sophisticated take on the traditional blue & yellow combo - works well when either the teal or the yellow is the dominant colour - if you are feeling brave a tiny pop of pink or aqua blue adds another dimension.

NAVY & CARAMEL

A grown-up, sophisticated palette - rich warm caramel tones contrast perfectly with navy & deep grey-blue.

INDIGO BLUE & ORANGE

One of my all time favourite colour combinations, I love adding 1 or 2 small pops of bright orange to add fun & balance out a blue space.

AQUAMARINE & SEAGREEN

A fun, fresh palette - be sure to incorporate deeper tones to balance & ground the space.
