Consider yellow and pink

It's a cold winter day in St John's and  I'm always  thinking about warmth in colour. Northern climates definitely affect our colour choices.  Here's a blast of sunshine today for all of you who need a lift. <br /><br />Yellow and pink is an energetic colour combination, but I predict you won't be seeing it in every second home you visit. I can tell it is a rare combination because it was difficult to find support images to illustrate my ideas for this post.  It's good to know there are still  fresh and daring colour schemes that haven't been overdone. <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UKlj0xjoHmrd_jwo4D8__VxoFMDwYfqUmeygVbTCKopi6rCBAPa_LRVLCRBxyS7PTZ_biqUVen9ydVd3gp35PZrcfc05C49dFWJNhxYO7VPbBBdEGHz7UD-9Pq4MCgl8RgJ8rgKLatqe/s1600/style+at+home+.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UKlj0xjoHmrd_jwo4D8__VxoFMDwYfqUmeygVbTCKopi6rCBAPa_LRVLCRBxyS7PTZ_biqUVen9ydVd3gp35PZrcfc05C49dFWJNhxYO7VPbBBdEGHz7UD-9Pq4MCgl8RgJ8rgKLatqe/s400/style+at+home+.jpg" width="390" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Style at Home</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQol1SZKbnS0JKFWg5rzOzIh7U2YdbyFNld5zVexCWT-vzO-GWvAfgW3bskbnBwDLqkjhRvsKAyfhfM2OZMttX1Ev5SxCzL7ebgdoEQr4QJ2nK69O4IPNlJ1qv3ng5YbLa7YJOGiHh8Ad/s1600/living-room146.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQol1SZKbnS0JKFWg5rzOzIh7U2YdbyFNld5zVexCWT-vzO-GWvAfgW3bskbnBwDLqkjhRvsKAyfhfM2OZMttX1Ev5SxCzL7ebgdoEQr4QJ2nK69O4IPNlJ1qv3ng5YbLa7YJOGiHh8Ad/s400/living-room146.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.housetohome.co.uk/living-room/picture/yellow-and-pink-living-room">House to Home</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The two images above both work because of the liberal use of  the magic colour - white - which makes everything look fresh and crisp.

Accessories inspired by nature

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When you are looking for accessories for your home, choose products that you have a personal connection to.  You may like it because  it could be a favourite colour; a reminder of your travels; a texture or shape you love; a reminder of your childhood, etc.   Twigs, branches, and  trees appeal to a lot of people- me included - because they reference the outdoors, and almost everyone has experienced trees in their lives. The branching effect of  trees is visually stimulating and plays nicely with the more static horizontal and vertical lines in a home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.elledecor.com/interior-design-blogs/deal_day/beautiful_branch_table"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6XKamr14tgDVZViGa0rztBudfyyWzTRr8ra30bRcnJuIqiJI471kOhF-FainjXPXpoNbf4olv7B-JWpfbHgQ_O_dTJDkkLzTcwBIvyT6DDhyphenhyphenIgsq3ZpZEuMtRWOfXO3GrKKdsvVhwvls6/s1600/ROOM+-+Blossoming+Branch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6XKamr14tgDVZViGa0rztBudfyyWzTRr8ra30bRcnJuIqiJI471kOhF-FainjXPXpoNbf4olv7B-JWpfbHgQ_O_dTJDkkLzTcwBIvyT6DDhyphenhyphenIgsq3ZpZEuMtRWOfXO3GrKKdsvVhwvls6/s400/ROOM+-+Blossoming+Branch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://singlestonestudios.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-art.html">source</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Stencils and vinyl  wall appliques, when used in the right place, provide stunning effects.

The many uses of wallpaper

"Looking to add a punch of personality to your walls? When bold paint colours simply aren’t enough, designers are looking to beautifully patterned wallcoverings to do the trick."   <a href="http://www.styleathome.com/homes/interiors/decorating-with-wallpaper/a/19886">Style at Home</a><br /><blockquote>If you've ever put up wallpaper you know  how much work it is to remove it.  Most people I know swear never to have to strip walls again.  But...are we losing out on a design opportunity? Maybe there's another way to look at it. You don't have to commit to four walls of pattern in your home or even think in terms of walls at all ; be creative. </blockquote><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQTvJoMA_96vEFYUH6d4dtO23iE5satm-WKE97KncHypE8D6Wpq3Icit_icNm-Q1vknbQyMaayoknBammhA3IFE2ol6w5wXhiX2Nl5SDBvGKNxUnsao0xcqv82SucsWq8o6zlezYbEtK_a/s1600/wallpaper-straight-med.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;
