Loving: Yellow + Navy

I really love yellow and navy together—it's so cheery but accommodates a bad day which is very important. It's a common enough color combination that you can find a cushion or other accent homeware item in order to bring the idea into the room without having to commit to a yellow or navy wall. In fact, it's probably better to keep it little more subtle - a little goes a long way with this combination I think. Here are some interiors that got it right.

Very Purple-y

Purple has never been a favorite of mine. I think every one of my friends went through a purple bedroom stage but I've always been a blue and white kind of girl. Or maybe green. But for some reason I missed the purple boat. But I'm climbing aboard now. There are so many delightful shades of purple: bright, dusky, pale. And as an accent or paired with mostly white it's really quite lovely without being garish. Who knew? Probably all of you that had gorgeous teenage, purple bedrooms.
