Sofas that are anything but neutral - couches with color

FREE IMAGES Our walls are close to this color - I just assumed we would get a gray sofa. All though I'd prefer white or cream, with an active young dog and a baby on the way, I'm afraid I'd be constantly fretting over stains. I would never have thought to use a light blue couch against an aqua wall, but I don't mind it here.

I love navy, but I'm so afraid of it making our already small living room seem smaller.

Any of you have a bright, bold sofa that they love?

Subtle or Bold?

FREE IMAGES I'm in a pink and gray kind of mood today and was wondering what my readers tend to lean towards. Bold accent color or subtle ones? I sway back and forth depending on the color but when it comes to pink and gray I tend to lean towards to the subtle side.

Layers of color: how to break away from monochrome and embrace color

FREE IMAGES Sometimes, you can describe what you mean - you need to a picture.  I think the following examples are a great way to describe how to layer different colors in a space to create a harmonious and memorable room.

Scared?  Start with the guest bed bedding to try your hand at mixing colors.  From their you can build the confidence to work with larger spaces?

Anyone here a master at mixing colors?  Or are you afraid?

Crisp and bright rooms

FREE IMAGES

We had a bit of a heatwave here in Maryland this week so I thought a little cool off was in order.  The rooms below are perfect for hot summer days because they are light and airy, just like a crisp cotton sun dress!

Love the spotty drapes.

I always have my eye out for a large floor mirror for a good price.  A mirror like this can throw enough light around a room it's like having another window.

Sometimes greenery can be just as pretty (and unexpected) as flowers.

Crushing on that coffee table!!

I would never pick that wallpaper, and I do not like zebra rugs, but all of these elements together are so pretty.

Brick wall and an unashamedly girly bed? Love it.
