Today here in fabulous NYC it’s snowing once again! We’re in the mood for spring. And since it’s only 26 days away, we found this beautiful floral spring floral duvet cover from West Elm http://www.westelm.com/products/spring-floral-duvet-and-shams-b593/?pkey=call-bedding that inspired our color scheme of the week.

This is not your typical floral- it’s modern, fresh and fun and it screams spring! We love the combination of colors shown below on our inspiration board. The punchy blue is fabulous on the walls if you’re into bold. To punch it up, add some green/yellow accessories and some dark gray accessories. If you have space in your room for a chair, go for this rocker from CB2 http://www.cb2.com/family.aspx?c=106&f=5936&fromLocation=search. Do a gray cube nightstand on either side of your bed- these are a great and affordable option from Crate & Barrel http://www.crateandbarrel.com/furniture/accent-tables/mimic-smoke-cube/s666923. On the tables, these green-yellow lamps from CB2 will bring back that punch of color http://www.cb2.com/family.aspx?c=320&f=5599&fromLocation=search. And finally, for a little bit of contrast on the bed we love these throw pillows from Crate & Barrel http://www.crateandbarrel.com/decorating-and-accessories/decorative-pillows/hayward-slate-18%22-pillow/s110984.

Don’t be afraid to go for a color scheme like this one that combines multiple colors. It is fresh and versatile. Going bold as we suggested is a breeze by picking up a few of the colors and it is also simple to tone it down and go more neutral. To do this, choose the light dusty gray for your walls and go with accessories in a lighter gray and possibly the medium gray-violet.

Have fun with it!

I call it Mellow Yellow...

Happy Valentines day everyone. I suppose you are sick of the red and pink that you are probably seeing all day today? Here is our take on romance. Cheerful yet soft yellow, cool calming gray and crisp whites: what could be more perfect? I call it mellow yellow, and it’s one of my favorite color schemes for a few reasons. It’s very feminine and romantic without being pink which means convincing the man in your life will not include bribes or begging. It could work for any age, from nursery to grandma’s room. It’s extremely fresh and fun, and best of all it makes you feel like you’re in spring when there’s 18” of snow outside.

We found this fabulous color inspiration on Décor Pad and we couldn’t help but use it for this week’s color inspiration. And although I’m obsessed with the color, the room was feeling rather flat due to the lack of textures. We found some fabulous finds to consider if you want to get this look.

This beautiful teardrop lamp from West Elm will add some shine and glamour to the space- consider getting one for each side table. If you are blessed with a spacious room, go for this fabulous yellow gerber print slipper chair from Target- if not, go for a yellow throw pillow with a fun pattern. Next to your chair or bed this amazing bubble table from West Elm will add wonderful texture.  Keep your feet cozy with this area rug at Burke Décor - we just love the simple yet sophisticated pattern. Finally, choose a casual comforter with texture that will wow. Shown in slate and white, this organic pintuck duvet from West Elm is pure perfection. Either color will work well depending on your lifestyle. I personally would choose slate because I know between my husband and my dog; the white would be tainted quickly. And finally, the oh so important wall colors. Choose one of these fabulous yellows for the walls and don’t forget the fifth wall! Go for this amazing gray on your ceiling. Ask for flat paint for the walls and do a semi-gloss bright white for trim and doors.
