Rie Elise Larsen- colour queen

 I was really excited to discover interior stylist Rie Elise Larsen- her use of colour is just fantastic.

The home accessories by Rie Elise Larsen are sure to bring a pop of colour to any home.  Everything is so pretty!  I particularly like the lamp shades.

 Above: when lining shelves, ensure you choose bold prints and strong colour to avoid creating an old-fashioned look!

What a difference a bit of colour can make!

Headboard Heaven

One  way of brightening-up the bedroom is to add a quirky headboard.  It’s quick, easy and fairly inexpensive to do, with instant and striking effects.

See how the ‘background’ of this room has been kept white and colour has been introduced using pillows, throws and other home accessories.  The headboards brings the room together nicely.

Drape a pretty rug over the headboard and swap it regularly for an instant new look!

Feeling Blue

It been a week of disaterous events at our house, so it seems rather apt for the theme today to be blue!

the lovely shade of blue on the wall really ‘lifts’ the whole room…

 love the ’sky’ wallpaper, above!  The perfect backdrop for the colourful sofa

the walls have a chalky look about them here, very Greek-looking

 How adorable are the steps leading up to the wardrobe?  Not sure my balance would be too good first thing in the morning, though!

Gorgeous colour at Papaya Art

How stunning are these colours?  The pink is so prominent against the black and white wallpaper.  This image is from Papaya Art, a cute website full of interesting wall art and stationary to brighten-up your home!

The colours and patterns used are so appealing and different from anything you’d find on the high-street I’m sure.  Read more about Papaya here.

above:  start with a neutral shade of sofa and build strong colour around it using cushions and wall art.  Note how the yellow shades in the cushion compliment those in the wall hangings.
