I am sure Dorothy Draper's fan will also be pleased since it is included in her palette, with lots of pink shades.

Pops of Pink!

Hello,

I was thinking yesterday that our living room was a feeling a bit drab with the winter light.

I liked it during the summer but I think it's too cold for the winter time.

Too many cold neutrals.

Hot pink or fushia has always been a favorite color with orange (or tangerine!) to dynamize a room.

Like in the palette below :

Color Week : Different colors / Different stylings

While I like weird color combos in picture, I usually prefer to play it safe with color in my own house. Especially because I love to change all the time.

You don't have to paint your walls in yellow to add some color in your house. Some accessories can add color to a neutral room and make a huge impact. They can easily be swiched if you want to create a new styling.

Last week, Jannice demonstrated it very nicely here. She styled her neutral living room in three different ways, using three different colors :

Soft grey...

blue...

and beige...

Very nicely done Jannice!

Here is my selection to style your house in the color palette I proposed yesterday :

1. Very lovely lamp (already spotted here)  - Zara Home

2. Plaid - Zara Home

3, 4 & 10. Cushions - Zara Home

5. Jar - Muuto

6. Knitted basket - Ferm Living

7. Vase - Ikea

8. Caddles - Ikea

9. Candle holder - Muuto

The vignettes in this traditional autumn color palette might be cute, but often meh... I think it should be kept for small vignettes...

or outdoor vignettes.

Otherwise, you can get a bit to "haloweeny".
