Color Schemes Xmas Edition: Aqua and Silver Winter Wonderland

Posted on by

2

I recently  had a conversation with a friend who is having a debate with her husband about holiday color schemes. He wants blue and green but it reminds her of her school colors. She also feels it’s not Christmas-see enough if she doesn’t have red. So I started thinking of beautiful holiday schemes that aren’t traditional. The Winter Wonderland is exactly the kind of scheme that makes me feel totally in the mood. You can even add hot pink or fire engine red to the turquoise hues for a pop of color. Love the ribbon and disco balls and ornaments in urns looks…

A lot of the decor can be done on a budget. Branches from the yard spray painted can create a nice tablescape, ribbon by the roll can be purchased from Michael’s or Jo-Ann Fabric and you can use their weekly 40% off coupons in the paper. You can also get random mirrors from thrift stores of the Goodwill and spray paint the frames for mantle decorating. Dollar stores usually carry cone-shaped styrofoam that you can cover in glitter…

This color scheme is so masculine and looks good paired together in fashion as well as interiors. It reminds me of THIS except navy is more safe than black…

 I know this doesn’t have any animal print but the hues is the same. And that funky textural chair keeps the visual interest…

When I came across this picture I knew I needed to find interiors with this color scheme. The mustard and mocha hues reminds me of Autumn but the added aquamarine makes me think of calm ocean waters….

This color scheme is a different take for a kids space. It’s colorful but gender friendly…

So yesterday was quite dreary and the other night we had thunderstorms (which I live for). But while commuting to work I noticed how lovely the tops of trees look against the gray sky. Made me think how many colors gray can be paired with. As much as black is my fav color, I feel gray is neutral enough but dark enough to make saturated hues pop. Just look…the above design I love. The black and white is ever so classic, but the pop of georgia peach is even better. The gray looks good with both tones…

I’ll take this chandelier for $200 Alex….

Love burnt orange for fall and this modern decor is it. Velvety sofa? Perfect for autumn. By no means am I suggesting to switch your main pieces of furniture with the seasons because that’s expensive & just ridiculous. This image just screams fall to me….

Cranberry & gray is a much better pairing than black and reds because gray is less jarring…

Beautiful contrast between the gray & turquoise. You know me, I love my TURQ hues…

A nice little tufted gray and camel KITCHEN NOOK….

This dandelion chandelier & the BLUSH hued pinks that we seen in Jennifer Lopez’s home is so girlie. But I still love THIS vintage gray & pink room the best…

I love this look. It’s a little unexpected for me. When I think of grays I usually pair it with silvers and gun-metal. At least in wardrobe so to see it with gold and bronze accents is a nice surprise. I love BAR CARTS. Even if you don’t entertain, it looks so stylish to have your “spirits” on deck in such a fancy way.


A bright taxi cab yellow & gray color scheme…reminds me of THIS inspiration from nature. That backsplash is very bold. I wouldn’t suggest that if you’re planning on selling your home soon (unless you don’t mind changing it) as you will certainly limit the buyer pool. You want to stay as neutral as possible. (For more designing for resale tips, see THIS). However if you plan to stay awhile, I would completely personalize the space too…

Saturday Sunday Shindig: Fun pumpkin & Halloween decor ideas…

{All You}

I figured I might as well give you some ideas for any Halloween bashes since we have one week left.

 

 So you want to have some curb appeal whenever you’re decorating for any holiday. It’s always a fine line between festive and cheesy. I don’t cosign cheesiness. What I do cosign is chic whimsical decor. For those of you who are really into it, a half gallon of paint will be more than enough to give your door a pop of color. I think this works well if the palette of your home is already neutral. A lot of you all have outdoor seating. Perfect opportunity to switch out the pillows and cushions for ones in whatever Halloween color scheme you’re going with. I personally like the following: red, cranberry & black…black, white & orange…orange, black & purple or black, gunmetal, silver. A feather wreathe is something Pier 1 would have.

Love these bats. It’s festive without overdoing it. A simple plant urn with pumpkins adds to the fun…

Speaking of urns, how about this fun idea with mannequin legs?

Tuesday’s Tips: the find-things-easier edition…

For this round of tips I decided to give you a few ideas to make life a little less complicated by freeing up the time you spend looking for things. First off, isn’t the above a great color scheme inspiration? I told yall, inspiration come from anywhere. Anyway, ever break or lose matching silverware sets? Well painting the tips is not only a cool looking thing but it’s a great way to distinguish between sets. Just remember don’t paint pass the handle.

So how many of us have ever misplaced our keys? Yep, I see hands raised everywhere. This idea not only repurpose frames AND coat hooks, but it’s a beautiful way to hang keys. Just create this look near a door for fab entryway design that’s also very functional. Bonus points if you find decorative keys as well.

So for those of you like my mom who stock up on canned items as if a blizzard or other natural disaster will keep you trapped in your home for eons, you will appreciate this. Using the cardboard container for sodas, insert canned items. An easy way to find your soups, fruit cocktails, beans, etc. Not only that, you can easily see when you’re low and need to replenish.
