Top 5 Fall Color Trends 2015
Do you love color as much as I do? Whether you are painting a whole room or adding in an accent piece, these colors are sure to wow you this fall season!
1. Indigo – This deep blue hue has captured our attention for the last couple of years and it’s still going strong. Love the intensity!
2. Blush Pink – This color is so “hot” right now and works so well as a neutral, it’s a wonder we haven’t seen it sooner. It’s also very on trend with the fashion world. (Is anyone else obsessed with the Kate Spade blush bags?)
3. Charcoal Gray – If you were tired of the “50 Shades of Gray” puns, you’re out of luck. Gray tones (in velvet, especially) are seeing a resurgence this fall and are sure to make you fall in love again!
4. Hot Pink – The more energized big sister of “blush”, this hue is equally on trend right now. Incorporating it in the right way takes a room to the next level…are you up for it? :)
5. Charcoal Gray & Yellow/Gold – I’ve always loved this combination and in these sophisticated hues, it’s sure to win over modern & traditional sensibilities alike!
Summer 2015 – Crazy Color Inspiration
Wow! Color explosion from all major retailers in 2015! I know the economy is making a comeback and that usually means more color in the design industry but never has it been more evident than in this season’s outdoor furniture offerings!
Bold color, bright patterns and a general “Palm Beach” vibe makes me want to vacay in any of these lush photo shoots!
See below for my favorites so far :)
Happy Decorating & Entertaining Outdoors!
Spring is in the air! – Patio Inspiration
Last year, I finally moved into a place with an outdoor patio! I was so excited and searched for things to fill the space. However, the indoor rooms needed a bit more attention so instead I worked on those spaces. Also, I found myself spending a great deal of time at the pool and less emphasis on the patio resulted.
However, 2015 is a new year and I’d really love to make that space an extension of my living space. Here is a concept photo as well as a sketch of the space:
It’s not a huge space but I think I can maximize it’s potential :)
A before photo…a little sad at the moment but the weeds are gone!
I already purchased this great little wrought iron folding table at Target…awesome b/c of size and portability…but i need chairs…
Love the Parisian bistro chairs!
This chaise/daybed from C&B would really make the space. Extra seating for guests but a great place for me to curl up with my ipad and get inspired…I hope I can make this happen :)
I love how colorful (and affordable) outdoor area rugs are! This is a great option to bring in my blue color scheme…
Fun patterns, yes?!
If I have space for this; I would love a little extra room to bring the bar outdoors…
The rest is all fun entertaining ideas!
I’ll keep you posted on the progress! Happy Decorating!!
