Today I got another crazy idea about a color combo: gold & brown. I said crazy, because again, hard to find inspirational pictures. And believe me I *really* tried. I just like it a lot, it’s warm and cozy and reminds me of things I love: chocolate, luxury (love it maybe a bit) and romantic, comfortable bedroom. But why was so hard to find images? Was it because I just discovered a new color combo that is stunning or because gold & brown can’t go together?! For me this mix of colors it is stunning, I feel warmth whenever I think of it and since I trust my feelings a lot, I’ll dare to think that golden combined with brown isn’t *that* crazy! What do you think?

Hi, dear readers! How have you been? I have a BIG news to share with you before I start blogging! Since today I’m officially a contributor on a Serbian site related to interior design called Enterijer.rs! I’m so honored to be a part of such a talented team working there, I’m really REALLY excited and look forward bringing my design thoughts there! But this doesn’t mean I’ll be blogging less on CreamyLife, no way! After all, this is my first and biggest experience in blogging :).
Alright, back to my post. I must admit I was craving femininity last 2 days: pale pinks and peaches, romantic bedrooms with tulle curtains, warm sun rays – doesn’t this sound fabulous?! It does! However, I’ll blog about something completely different! I’ve seen lots of tangerine lately on the Internet, a bright, joyful color able to cheer up my romantic mood! So I thought I’d give it a try! Here are some inspirational pictures:

Oh well, I showed you my new crush and now would be the perfect moment to write about the color that inspires me today and that will be mint color! I’ve seen a lot of mint in blogland lately and I must admit, only looking at the color makes me feel its freshness and the aromatic scent! Being a color between apple green, lime, aqua (and maybe more) mint comes in different shades: mint green, mint gray, mint blue, so I searched for inspirational pictures that are about all these shades (don’t be surprised if you see quite different mint color). Mint also turns to be a calming color, perfect for a kitchen, dining room, nursery – oh well, it’d be great in every room, I guess! I hope you like the inspiration I found:

Not much to say about the combination of red and white colors. The passion and light emanated by this combo speaks all by itself! And before red+white rooms seemed to me very fancy and luxurious and they really are, but guess what, I did find cute yet chic pictures of country spaces decorated with white and popping red accessories here and there! I like this idea more rather than painting the living room in red, for example :). That it’d be visually too exhausting. What’s your opinion about white and red? How do you think people should use this combo in their homes?

Good morning, lovelies! I’m an early bird today so let’s get to blogging immediately :). The color mix green+orange was suggested to me by my husband! That’s right, yesterday he decided to help a little by telling me some of his favorite combos. Green & orange seemed at first sort of weird – in my vision these colors just didn’t work good together. But then I researched a little, meditated and analyzed and agreed with him! I must admit that green, being a calming color and orange – an energizing one, make a great room balance, borrowing from each other softness and freshness. I even understood the tendency of painting a child’s room in green & orange – calm yet energized, and this sounds just perfect for a kid with healthy lifestyle! And it really isn’t important is it a bright green, lime or apple green – it all works just fine!

Hi, my friends! Hope you’re having a good Monday! Sorry for posting so late, my Internet was down all morning. What did you do this weekend? I was searching for inspiration in magazines, blogland and books – just to be ready for a new blogging week, full of design eye-candy and beautiful ideas to share with you! The first idea I loved while reading a magazine was the color combo gold & purple. Seriously, the inspirational picture I saw amazed me – the beauty this combination can create, the royal feeling (gold)+femininity (purple). That’s exactly how I felt! I think gold & purple would work nowhere better than in a bedroom, along with some lighted candles, golden drapes and satin purple sheets. Can you feel how romantic is this?!

Who ever thought of beige being a neutral color? Lots of you did! Wrong! Think again! Or visit the blog of Vancouver color consultant Maria Killam and convince yourself of the opposite! I did think that beige is the most neutral color from all and I could easily combine it with every color that crosses my mind ever! But then I was lucky to be introduced to the great Maria Killam and her blog, Colour me Happy, and read lots of useful stuff about colors, particularly about beige. One thing I learned about it is that it is very (!) tricky and there are plenty of colors that just go wrong along with beige! While trying to recover from the shock I had, I found out about the 3 main undertones of beige: yellow, pink and green, which are the well-known beige, but way too different! Here are the examples:

For this blog post I chose the bluest blue. Somebody calls it dark blue, others call it ‘blue moon’ – I say this is the ‘under the blue sky’ color. Just sounds cuter to me ;). This blue is perhaps dark (it is a bit) and it won’t work so good for a space which doesn’t have lots of light, but it will certainly look gorgeous in a room with big windows, where there is constantly sunlight! I guess the blue from these light rooms will really create the feeling of the sky in there and with some nice, cloudy wallpaper will make you float and feel you’re in the air. Just perfect for a nursery!!!

The first thing that came to my mind when thinking about emerald green was that it’s such a deep color, not for everybody. I mean, I’m thinking myself that I’d hardly decide to paint my living room’s walls in emerald. And maybe it sounds crazy, but I’m not sure I’d use this color in some decorative accessories at all! But I do like how it looks in other people’s homes, reminds me of the sea and I think along with an aqua blue would make a ravishing combo! Great for a fun and fancy nursery, maybe…
