Color+inspiration: Burgundy

Burgundy was all over fashion this past fall and if you’re following the trends you have at least one piece in burgundy. And it got me thinking how does this color embracing interior design – to my surprise burgundy isn’t very popular in home decor, but I can’t say I don’t understand why, after all this is a bold hue requiring attention when creating color palettes as not every color pairs nicely with burgundy, don’t you think so? Personally I doubt I would paint my bedroom in burgundy as I would probably fear the darkness the room will receive, however accent pieces look pretty good adding a touch of elegance (a result close to what plum gives to a space – royal and sophisticated).

What’s your opinion on burgundy?

Unexpected color

Hi friends! Happy Sunday, I hope you’re enjoying yet another end of the week. It’s so dreary outside that I can’t help but crave some color (but we all know I always crave it, so no big deal now :)). I came across some rooms where color is used in the most unexpected way – radiators! Who would think a radiator can be the focal point of a room, right? The idea in my opinion is quite amazing and so easy! Ah, if only we (or at least I) would have the guts to do it :)

Concrete & color

If you ask me, I will say that concrete walls combined with a fun color is the most unexpected way to decorate a space. I mean we all think of cold gray when speaking about concrete and it’s absolutely justified, so the fact of adding a bright shade to spice things up sounds like an easy, but ‘life-changing’ step in order to break the dullness of a room that has concrete walls, don’t you think? Whether you choose a warm pastel color to soften the look or a screaming bold one to put the focus on it, the result is anyway sure to be phenomenal!

Color+Inspiration: Crayola Taupe

I have the feeling that even though tangerine was named the color of 2012 we’ll be seeing a lot of nude and I’m pretty sure taupe will be among the trendsetters this season. And not every taupe nuance, but crayola taupe which is close the Chanel Particuliere, you know the nail polish? It’s just as soothing as pale pink/peach is (less feminine perhaps), but it’s so much more modern in my opinion – I guess I’ve seen a lot of soft pales lately. Earthy colors will always be a good alternative to any color, so while we’re at backups, let’s make the best of them! Yay for taupe!

Color+Inspiration: Magenta

Ok, this must be a color+inspiration week. Not sure what has gotten onto me, but today I’m blown away by another color – magenta! I know some people call it fuchsia, others even pink, but I’m all for calling it this sophisticated name (it’s also cool and stylish, right?). Here’s my color+inspiration post for this sunny and hot Friday! Enjoy!

Color+Inspiration: Tiffany blue

Good Monday morning! Hoping that you all had a fabulous weekend, will kick off this week with a color+inspiration post and just so you know for the past few days I was inspired to no end by a very bright and lively shade of blue: Tiffany blue, the color of the famous Tiffany & Co. Probably I don’t need to explain much why do I love both the color and the company, I just do and am pretty sure I’m not alone. Here’s some Tiffany blue inspiration:

Color+Inspiration: Coral+Green

And we met again, my friends! After yesterday’s news I understood even better how important is to have you all and how much your support means to me, I can only be eternally grateful for all the tweets on Twitter and comments and thank God I’m blessed to have so amazing readers! On another note, today on creamylife’s Facebook page I posted this picture which inspired me to write my today’s post, asking if you can guess what is it about. And I got suggestions, though nobody guessed that I was smitten by the lovely, live color combo on the package which afterward guided me to put together this color+inspiration post. So now I’m absolutely in love with coral and green in all their shades (from pinky to peachy coral to mint, apple to pale green – no limits!) and if the below pictures feel too chaotically chosen, think better about the abundance of color ideas you can get!

Mm, black cherry…Sounds so mystical, doesn’t it? I like this color most of all on my nails. I’m using black cherry nail polish for some time already and I’m absolutely in love with the way my nails look. I recommend you to try! But black cherry is good not only on nails, here is some inspiration.

Color+Inspiration: Yellow

Hello friends and Happy Friday! Soon we’re stepping into the weekend time, but not a regular weekend, A Valentine’s day one! Are you having any special plans for the day, a party or a romantic dinner? Anyways, I wish you to have fun and enjoy each second of the V-Day!

Today, I’m writing again about colors that inspire me and guess what, today my favorite is yellow! Why? Aw, because it reminds me a lot about sunny weather and warm days and I miss this so much! Outside it’s snowing with huge  snowflakes (and I really mean it, the snowflakes are like some golf balls!) and now more than ever I’m dreaming about sun, beach and cozy summer dresses :).
