I’ve been feeling like I need to inject some ‘summer’ into my home. I have worked hard this year to establish a neutral backdrop in my living room and kitchen (which is almost finished!) I find that the black/white/neutral scheme is super cozy and calming for the winter. However, now that it’s summer, I’m ready to liven it up with some color.
I have to say, the trend predictions at Style at Home are exactly what I had in mind this year! Well, at least two out of three…
1. Aegean blue – the perfect summery blue shade for accessories
2. KILIM – we all know I’ve been obsessing over this trend lately! Spoiler Alert… I ordered one! It’s on it’s way from Turkey!
3. The third trend is Country colours – probably not going to happen in my home… but perfect for the cabin!
Here’s the plan for injecting some summer trends into my living room:
1 – The KILIM! The star of the room! I ordered it from this seller on ebay.
2 – Kid Art. This is a pencil crayon + water color map of South America made by Beckett at preschool… can you even believe how perfect it is with the colours in the kilim!?!
3 & 4 – Vases from West Elm and Indigo
5 – Tie dyed / sequin pillow from Indigo
Oh yay!!! YOU ordered the rug!!! I love the art ;)
