Chartreuse obsession

I don’t often see chartreuse used in home decor and although I blogged about it awhile back (here and here) I still find it quite intriguing and modern. Like for example, who’d think chartreuse might look so amazing in a home office? I’m stunned by the richness of this shade against white walls and how well it might complement other bold colors like fuchsia, yellow etc.

P.S. How fun it is to frame magazine covers and hang them on the wall? Have always thought the idea is brilliant!

P.P.S. Louis ghost chairs in that olive green color? I DIE.

Color+Inspiration: Chartreuse+Fuchsia

Hello, sweets! How are you? I’m dying to know what’s happening in your side of the world, things are busy with me and am feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything what’s happening in my life at the moment (all good!), but tell me more about you! I wanted to take the time and thank you all who voted for me in the October challenge on Design Refuge, I can feel all your support and this is making me so proud and honored to have such fabulous readers, thank you so much for everything!

Back to my post, last week, I’ve been scanning some old magazines I had and was amazed by how inspiring at the moment can be pages which you flipped through months ago! Seriously, I felt like I’m looking at the images with different eyes and it was so great to get fresh ideas from an old issue of a design mag! Case in point, I saw a picture where there was a living room decorated with chartreuse and fuchsia (screaming colors!) and touches of brown and white. I mean hello! I blogged about chartreuse and fuchsia, but in different posts and now I saw them together and it’s quite a stunning combo, if I say so myself!

Color+Inspiration: Chartreuse

I prepared one more color inspiration post and this time it’s about chartreuse! This is the color we get when mixing the same amounts of green and yellow, so you understand that if adding more green we get a bright chartreuse and if we add more yellow – we get yellow chartreuse! But these shades are far away from being the only variations of chartreuse, I was surprised to find out that apple green, olive green, yellow green and more are also variations of chartreuse! I found some inspirational pictures and please, don’t be amazed the variety of colors you’ll see – they’re all meeting the title of this post: chartreuse! Enjoy!

P.S. I also prepared a chartreuse color palette with some of the variations (there are more!). I hope it will help you define the color :)
