Pops of Colour:

I'm a big fan of neutral rooms with big pops of colour. If you are like me then you are changing your mind constantly. By painting a space in a neutral tone and keeping the palette fairly plain you can incorporate pops of colour with art, accessories or flowers wherever you'd like!

Electric Blue At IKEA:
Blue is back in a big way this year, especially electric blues or cobalt blue. With the way that trends are changing you don't really want to spend a lot of money re-doing your space. By changing out a few of your accessories you can create a whole new look in every room of your home. Ikea is a great choice for accessories on a budget and they happen to have some fantastic finds in electric blues!

Brad Ford:

Lately I have developed a design crush on the New York based designer, Brad Ford from Brad Ford ID. You may not recognize the name but I’m sure you design gurus out there have seen his work in plenty of design magazines. His design style is the perfect balance between clean lines, rustic textures, elegance, and functionality. Old vs. New is a common theme in his designs as well, I love the touch of 60’s flare mixed with chic modern elements.
