Spring 2011:s most interesting colour: Carrot

Posted on 2011/01/27 by Mia in Colour Boosts, SS 2011

Hello and extremely welcome to trendey.com! Here’s me, Mia, sitting in my home office bringing you the bestest of interor decorating trends and tricks ;) Well some, like my mother, say it’s true :) Today’s topic is the most interesting though slightly hidden trend colour of spring 2011: Carrot. Let’s just say carrot, it’s the hues somewhere between pink coral and traditional orange. Somewhat yellowish pink-red. It’s an interesting new spark I’ve noticed lately, that goes extremely well with the sandy [new-white] base. I will use the sand and carrot combo myself in our bedroom so pics will be coming from that – but for now, an illustration of this too-hot-to-be-true spring colour:

    Very interesting! Love love LOVE to have carroty accents in my room. Feels fresh and new, more exciting than coral. Thanks for the inspiration!!

    Absolut fantastiskt snyggt – jag är själv på väg åt det hållet både i min butik & hemma!
    Jag har förresten i ett inlägg lagt dig som en stor bloggfavorit på min blogg, vore helt asonnlikt dumt att inte ha med dig din färg & formstjärna, ville jag bara säga :D

    Tusen TACK Elisabeth! :) Så glad jag blir!! Mycket hedrad att få vara bloggfavorit hos dig, det gjorde definitivt min dag att se!

    Coolt – jag håller ett öga på Anyhow-butiken alltid, så mycket snygga grejor!

    Thanks! Oh I’d love some carrot soup :) Prefer them cripsy raw though or in a delicious carrot cake (my fav pastry, yummie…)

  • Mia

    Well thank you! And yes, isn’t it!! I got my carroty bedspread today, so excited to decorate with it once we’ve painted the walls ‘nude’.
    Nude+carrot+red is the starting scheme in my idea. It*feels* fresh, but outcome remains to be seen :)
