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…

It’s 1 am here and I’m still awake (I guess energy drinks do work?!), so I thought I’d share some inspirational turquoise images with all of you. You know I love turquoise and turquoise images are making me so so happy! I always feel overwhelmed when I see them, my heart starts beating faster and I can’t help myself! So, now when searching for pictures on my favorite House of Turquoise, I already couldn’t stop, I wanted more and more and I’m just sad I can’t include a lot (!) of pictures in my blog post.

Greige color…Asking what is this color? It’s a mix of grey and beige and no, I didn’t invent the name, it does exist! I bet you didn’t know about greige, did you? Well, now you certainly do (and me too!). And frankly, I can’t really understand my feelings for greige: on one hand it’s sort of a light color, because of the beige, but on the other hand when I see greige I think of a foggy cold fall morning (that freaks me out completely!). Maybe the inspirational pictures will help me clarify my feeling for greige?

Today I caught myself thinking how it comes I never blogged, alright I didn’t even mention cream color?! I mean I have a blog named CreamyLife! So much related to cream and I completely ignored the beautiful color. Silly me…But anyways it’s better later than never, isn’t it? And while I was searching for nice cream colored interiors, I was surprised how often this color is used for the walls, furniture or rugs. Being so obsessed with bold colors lately, I forgot about the cute and gentle touch of neutral colors. I’ll do my best to change this habit and my start will be with cream colored inspirational pictures:

I’m sorry I didn’t post anything in this category lately, but here I am now! And today I have for you a very very gorgeous combo of colors: black and yellow – sunny and glamorous, chic and cheerful. I do think this combination speaks everything for itself, the yellow palette creates the warm atmosphere while the black brings a touch of mystery and style. As contradictory this mix seems to be, I think it’s so inspiring and a living room (for example) would become the most attracting place in the home!

Good day, my friends! You know what I read the other day? Violet is the color of February. So if I’m born in February, it means violet is my color? Magic of deduction :). And since it is like this, today I thought why not to include violet in my “Color+Inspiration” category. After little research I saw that violet is pretty close to purple, lavender, lilac but who cares? I love the flowers and the color is the same cute, so why not blog about violet?!
