Spring Inspired Colour Palettes for Interiors

Hello to you all! I'm glad to be back from my "piccola pausa". Hope you didn't miss me too much ;)

Today, the sun is shining brightly and the birds are chirping. In fact, they are chirping so happily, that they almost sound frantic. Spring is in the air. Therefore, I thought to share some colour palettes for interiors that were inspired by pairing spring scenes to interior schemes.

ps. Do you remember the ones I did for autumn and winter?

Which do you like best?

Before signing off, I wish to give a special mention about some of the images that I chose:

- the newborn robin: photo taken by my friend Coco over at Keeping Up with the Charlebois (although the image is from her old blog, Naked in the House).

- the colourful interior with stripes: is actually in the lovely home of my friend Tina from ColourLiving. She is really brave with colour, which I so admire! The photo was taken by the talented James Balston.

- the hands with red painted fingernails carefully holding a bunch of eggs: is a photo taken by Yvonne from Frl. Klein. Frl. Klein was on of the first German blogs I followed. I am in love with her photographs and I find Yvonne very inspiring. When she gave me permission to used her image, I was so glad :)

Well, there you have it. I'm so happy to be back sharing some colourful inspirations with you.

Will be connecting with some of you later tonight, I'm sure, when I get to catch up on my blog reading!

Xx. Holly.

  8. Hi Holly dear friend!

    even though I'm currently involved in little blog reading, I had to stop by to thank you for your wonderful and super warm comments!

    I'm truly happy to find you back, inspired and sharing inspiration. Love all your diptychs as they work so well together and I particularly love the soft metal and royal treatment color pallettes.

    Much love & tight hugs!

  13. Welcome back, Holly! Hope your time away reinvigorated you.
    I love your pairings above. I thought that lovely striped living room looked familiar (Hi, Tina!). :) I can't pick a favorite, I just can't. I love each of them equally for some special reason. Though, you know my affinity for red. ;)
