Navy & White (Nautical) Decor Inspiration

Maybe it's just  impending labor day which is giving me anxiety that summer is coming to an end, but sometimes I just want to start over, and make everything navy and white....

Green + Blue Decor Inspiration

Green and blue go perfectly together, and I love how lively and fun they can feel when layered in a room. Recently, I've been especially feeling this color pair, when layered with a range of different versions of green, blue, and teal/turquoise colors in between.

This living room took a bolder approach, but I think the green in the sofa helps break up what could have otherwise been an overpoweringly blue room.

These beautifully graphic green curtains are perfectly complimented by the turquoise sofa.  A standard beige sofa wouldn't have nearly the same impact!

Glossy Walls!

I've recently been enamored with glossy painted  (or lacquered?) walls.  It's not something I could ever achieve in my rental apartment, but I love how glamorous and unique they make a space.  The dark glossy colors look great in rooms with lots of windows and natural light  and I think this wall treatment would be an awesome touch in a cozy manly den.

 

 

 

Decorating with Green Accents

Green is one of my favorite colors, especially in decor (I've painted two bedrooms green) and while I think it is a great wall color,  it's also a fun color to use as an accent color in an otherwise simple or neutral room.

Here are some of my favorite rooms with green accents.

The green curtains in this grey dining room are to die for.

There is a lot going on in this living room, but my eye goes right to that green ottoman. I would put that into my living room in a heartbeat! 

I love how this green velvet chaise adds a touch of glamour to this otherwise rustic feeling bedroom.

 This room is more glamorous to start, and I think the bright green pillows add the perfect bit of whimsy.

Black and White Decor Inspiration

I repainted my bedroom last week (pictures coming soon) and I'm currently in the midst of re-painting and upholstering the bed. However, I've been having a tough time finding the perfect fabric. I had a bold colorful pattern in mind, but after searching through multiple fabric stores, I think I'm now leaning towards a black and white fabric.   Now, the decision is whether or not to keep the rest of the room monochromatic or not.  I think it would be really hard for me to stick to a super simple color palette, but I adore the way it turned out in these rooms.  I think the addition of gold or natural wood tones adds the perfect amount of warmth.

Stunning black and white wallpaper and entryway.

Kelly (aka the Glamourai) decorated her entire apartment with just black, white and gold.  

I just can't decide if the simple color palatte would feel timeless, or just get boring...
