Colour me happy
{Image 1, 2}
I love colour (if you haven't already guessed!). One of the ways I have achieved colour in my home, short of painting my walls which sadly isn't an option as I rent, is with fabric. Cushions, throws, table cloths, even framing fabrics! Even though I seem to be endlessly buying things [at next to nothing, so I buy more of course! ;-)] I am still amazed at how long it takes to build a look. It really doesn't happen over night! Loving this room above, a perfect example of how I'd like my place to look and also loving the colourful china!
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, we had a really sunny mild day yesterday. I wore a dress and small cardi and was perfectly warm, wow!!! Maybe summer is upon us....?

ReplyDeleteLove these colors! I agree that color is so important.

I LOVE colour too...it brightens up anyone's day. Sadly though, not enough people use it and stick withe the black and white at the moment!
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the colour thing Anna...bring it on. In fact I bought two hot pink and black persian rugs this weekend...completely OTT and I love it! Can't believe you wore a dress...it was miserable in Canberra :(
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of too many bright colors in my house. However...if i see it in somebody else house iloveit. Just too chicken i guess. Check out my old VW camper, that's where i will use some colors. Have a happy, happy week.

Oh I wish I was sometimes more adventurous with colour!! I seem to stick to the neutrals with the odd splash here or there!! Love your inspiration. Christine xo
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are soo pretty! I love all the color! I also like your tips on how to bring color in when you are renting (which is what I do too!). I hope you had a great weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colourful images! I always like to add colour through accessories so I can mix and change things around when I want a new look. Glad you could enjoy some sunshine over the weekend x
ReplyDeleteyes the weather on the weekend was wonderful wasn't it! A light at the end of the freezing winter tunnel :)

Oh that room is so colourful and makes me happy, it works so well too. I too love colour, I hate when I'm clothes shopping in the winter months and it's all dreary dull dark colours in the shops. Not good! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAll things nice...
What a happy room! I love the pink table and all of those bowls!! xo
ReplyDeleteHi there, I just came across your blog and I'm glad. I love the colour combination in this post, nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike! I just did a post also on colorful interiors! I think a burst of color is so nice.
ReplyDeleteI love how fun and vibrant these rooms are! I prefer to live in a softer palette, but I wouldn't mind visiting bright color. :)

ReplyDeleteHaving just stumbled upon your gorgeous blog I was immediately taken with the colours in your banner. Then I scrolled down to find this post, it's like Christmas for a colour-junky.
