Colour Inspiration







Colour inspiration can come from anywhere. It can come from a bouquet of fresh flowers, a pretty dress hanging in your closet, or even an odd household object.
A great way to find colour inspiration is from photographs. Many of us are drawn to certain photos in magazines, or in art galleries because of their interesting colour schemes. If there is a certain photo or painting that you absolutely love, try drawing a colour scheme from it. Chances are you will love the colours in your home just as much as in the photo!
Many people are scared of using bright colours in their homes. I think it's because they have an image in their head of bold colours used everywhere throughout the space in a chaotic manor. Paired with neutrals and used in smaller quantities, bright colour can add a lot of interest in a tasteful way. A great way to visualize a space with colour is to cut colour swatches to the proportions in which they will be used. This will give you a better idea of how the colours won't be overwhelming!
