I believe that your home should tell the story of who you are & what you collect & love.
Our living room / lounge had a very red wall when we moved in - it was an orange-red which I repainted in a pink-red tone that was much better. However, I found that the red was really limiting colour wise so about two years ago, I had it all repainted in Natural Calico - the same colour that is throughout the house! The only time I missed the red was at Christmas but the tree & decorations looked good against the lighter walls ...
However, I wanted a change for Summer so the red cushions & accessories are having a break ...
I found some lovely cushion covers in shades of lilac, purple & pink from 3 different shops - an inexpensive way to update the space ...
A lilac throw & a potted lavender plant set the tone & add texture ...
A chance find at Dunelm mill shop of a garland & strands of fresh colours for our inglenook fireplace
A potted, faux lavender plant ...
I do love this large inglenook fireplace space ...
Fresh shades of lavender, lilac, green & white bring a freshness to the fireplace ...
I 'might' have a thing for lavender this summer - the barometer is saying rain - it lied. The pretty table mat / cloth was a great £1 find at Ikea ...
The cushions on the other sofa, along with some pink ones & flowers which were repurposed from upstairs; it is good to switch things around ...
I like the change - small changes with many things repurposed from around the home, makes a welcome change.
Do you switch things around at home for seasonal changes? What is your favourite summer colours? Tell all & inspire us ...
