ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE...

Yesterday I mentioned how mustard yellows and teal greens were heading to the top of the color list for 2011...

Well I just so happened to stumble across this home that perfectly pairs the two together in a very cozy but modern bedroom (whose gorgeous chiffon-esque drapes have me drooling...)

I love the addition of stronger neutrals to the color scheme and how the wood tones pick up that mustard yellow too. The use of white keeps the saturated jewel tones from feeling too heavy - a good way to keep the colors moving forward into spring! But for now... how fabulous are they for winter too?

They even brought the color scheme into the living room with a pop of mustard against that dramatic rich green sofa! Love!

  1. I've always loved these colors individually, but wondered if pairing them together would look too citrusy. How wrong I was!

    totally agree!
    my current dream color palette is mustard + gray (undecided between a charcoal or a lighter smokey gray). I think I just love the idea of a gray suit with a mustard bow tie... and a wedding dress with a necklace of tahitian pearls and hairpieces with chrysanthemums.

  14. Beautiful. I love the curtains. And the color of the sofas. Not sure how I feel about the material but gorgeous effect nonetheless. So decadent xxx

  15. I'm a huge fan of the jewel tones too. In winter they look extra gorgeous paired against neutral backgrounds. Love it!
