Gr e y is certainly one of the hottest wall colours now that white is increasingly set aside in favor of more interesting options. As grey often is a bit cold, I love when it’s combined with warm purples, reds and pinks. And brown leather & woods. Here’s some great examples! Oh and I like the frame hanging to the left – a fun alternative to the gallery style.

There’s some exciting things going on at the Trendey headquarters right now! A stylist just vistited and tomorrow photo shoots will take place in my little abode. Stay tuned :)

And some info: We get quite a few questions on how to decorate a specific room. It’s nice to hear from you and our answers are found here. Now, we have been using our imagination on the basis of your descriptions, but in order for us to deliver advices and ideas that’s at least fairly appropriate, please attach a photo of the room in question (it is now possible via the contact form too) if you want us to think & feedback. Happy week!

 

…if you dare. 2012 seems to be the year we see colours used in new exciting ways. Pink might be the most burdened colour, carrying heavy girlie-girlie luggage. Finally it’s set free, perfectly used and cooler than ever!

In spring 2012′s colour scheme, faded pastels, beiges & greys are the main ingredients. Dark graphite grey provide the contrast. Add wood (preferably blonde) and glass or transparents. So says the trend oracles. Typically springish & nice! Above pic is a shoot of our dining area; pics below via sköna hem & skeppsholmen.

Love this composition! This is actually the same home as in this post (taken nearly 4 yrs ago; it’s quite cool to compare two gorgeous versions of the same room, and see how tastes & trends evolve).

Faded & beautiful. Top-trendy for spring 2012 and a slightly granny-esque or Faded Glamour vibe.

Lastly, I think the grey wall in this kitchen below is awesome.

Gorgeous colour combos. The wall colour (above ) is F&B:s Calamine.

That’s what I love. I didn’t know about photographer Ashley Campbell, until I stumbled upon a reference to her blog Under the Sycamore in French Côté Maison. I also learned she sometimes writes about DIY on Design*Sponge. Anyways, the bohemian spirit in these pics makes me so happy…

An absolutely amazing kitchen wall – gorgeous mix.

…the mighty jungle. This style – via Casaviva India – appeals to me. I wouldn’t copycat it, no, but the happy yellow walls and the jungly vibe from plants and animal patterns is so fresh, eclectic and absolutely lovely.
