play with color

With spring in full swing, my eye is naturally drawn to all things colorful. With that in mind, I decided to highlight some of my favorite of-the-moment color palettes for the home in case yours is in need of a little freshening up.

GRAY, WHITE, AND CORAL

This palette is subtly beachy but not so much that it feels out of place in a land-locked suburb. It looks lovely here in this pretty baby's room but would also do well in a bathroom, entryway, or den.

NAVY AND CHARTREUSE

Navy and chartreuse are playful and a little preppy. They pair nicely in this grown-up bedroom here, but I think they would also be fantastic in a family room or little boy's bedroom.

CREAM, GOLD, AND BLACK

This subdued color scheme is lovely on its own (the gold will really shimmer) or as a backdrop for punchy-hued accessories (think fuchsia, tangerine, and/or aqua!) for something fun and summery. Large spaces like a great room or kitchen look especially great in these tones.
