colour inspirations: peach & green with a rustic edge

Posted on Sep 28, 2011 in Colour Inspirations by Nyla 1 Comment

If you read yesterday’s post on my inspiring chat with Barbara Barry, you’ll see where the seed was planted for this new series.

Inspired by a beautifully textured wall at ABC Carpet & Home in New York City I fell in love with the soft, warm colour combination. With cooler temperatures around the corner, this is a fresh approach to the shades of fall that we typically see. Wouldn’t it be lovely in a bedroom setting? Pretty and soft, yet rustic and warm.

1. Textured vases Dwell Studio 2. Natural tree-stump side table from West Elm 3. Perfect for drapery or bedding Spa Ikat fabric in orange from Tonic Living 4. Pretty Sakura sheet set from Crate & Barrel 5. Soft & Serene wall colour Fowler Pink #39 Farrow & Ball 6. Why not paint your ceiling Picture Gallery Red #42 Farrow & Ball *images via House Beautiful 7. Add a touch of modern with this Missoni throw from Pillows & Throws 8. The Feye stained ivory crackle porcelain lamp from Arteriors adds a soft, feminine feel. 9. Add warmth and texture with the shutter style Alden Reclaimed Wood Headboard from Pottery Barn.

Tell me, what do you think of this combination? It’s certainly different, but that’s what I’m here for, to show ways of combining unexpected colours and textures in a way that offers ideas to bring the inspiration into your own home.

I hope you enjoy reading this new series as much as I do putting it together.
