colour, design and architecture

My three favourite nouns,

(and most googled nouns on my laptop)

Bold and clever use of colour in architecture is always inspirational to me,

especially when it's intricate and beautifully detailed.

Below is a sample of what is on my inspiration board this week

Great use of coloured glass in this building via pinterest

Building in Tokyo, Japan via google

Barcelona flower market via google

Stunning, aren't they?

I'm also loving the interior colour scheme of this North Coogee home (below),

(and the oversized pendant lights on top of the dining table, aren't they cool?)
The outdoor area is perfect for gatherings with friends or for coffee and paper on Sunday morning.
The introduction of colour in the form of artwork, rugs and scattered cushions
is a clever way to inject personality to a space without overly committing to a specific colour
(cushions can change with the season and artwork can be on rotation).
Easy, isn't it?

What do you think? Could you live here?
I most definitely could.

Cool greens and blues + new artwork

I'm loving cool hues at the moment.

I find them soothing, peaceful and relaxing

Do you agree?

I like to use greens and blues in my work and at home

more than ever before

they remind me of all my favourite things...

the ocean, the sky and the trees

they are soothing and refreshing especially around Xmas time.

A very striking blue + white + green + pink/purple combo (above)

might be a bit bold for some (the deep blue wall) but the overall look is still tranquil, serene thanks to the clever use of white (with accessories) and neutrals (lounge)

A lovely green + mint + purple + blue combo used in a country kitchen setting (below)

is informal and relaxing

{I like to use green and blue together 

and I like them with purple, lilac and yellow 

I find it's a delightful + refreshing combo 

and was my inspiration for my new artwork below}
