Orange and Turquoise

Everywhere you look today the colors orange, coral, blush, raspberry, turquoise, cobalt, aqua are on everything.  It's in clothing, accessories, shoes, jewelry and most importantly interior decorating!  With the majority of us being set in a very comfortable place of beige, cream and neutral these popping colors will electrify your space.  What a easy fix to be able to change the look of a sofa with a couple of muslim covered pillows with coral embroidered on them.  Or the brown leather recliner that your husband's butt print is permanently imprinted in, having a facelift with a gorgeous aqua, chenille throw tossed over the back.  Fresh, hot and with a pop.
Artwork makes for a splash of fun so mix it up a bit.  Find similar frames and white mats and roundup your favorite vacation shots, pictures of the family, food shots...whatever makes you smile when you look at it.  Remove what is currently over your sofa and lay your newly framed artwork on the floor in front of the sofa.  You should be about 2/3 of the width of the sofa and create a large mixed items to give you a personal keepsake to change out on a whim.  This will allow you to space thing accordingly and look at it before you start banging nails in the wall.  Keep your items fairly close together and no more than 12" above your sofa.  The framed artwork, typography, personal messages, antique family pictures, funny canvased sayings, whatever you love will make a conversation piece with family and friends.
Change it up, give it a punch and you will love coming home to your space.

Happy Decorating
