Time for some color therapy! Summer brings about a thirst for lovely bright hues. The colors I picked to dress up this white room: turquoise and coral. Pantone announced turquoise as the color for 2010:
Turquoise transports us to an exciting, tropical paradise while offering a sense of protection and healing in stressful times.
Coral complements turquoise perfectly. The two combined creates a balance of warm and cool tones, making any space fresh and inviting.
To create this inspiration board, I used Olioboard. It's such a great easy-to-use program that allows you to piece together furniture and accessories. You can browse their selection of items from brands like Crate and Barrel, West Elm, Williams-Sonoma, and the like. And..it's free! It's an easy way to visualize a space before purchasing anything.
