He's thinking green walls; you're thinking grey walls. We've all been in those situations when you just can't decide on a colour scheme that you'll both feel happy living in. Well, next time this happens, instead of grabbing the nearest pillow and heading in for your first whack (!), pour yourselves a navy and white colour cocktail. With it's perfect blend of masculine statements and feminine notes, this little number will sort you both right out. The bedrooms below show how to rock this look: a graphic wallpaper marries perfectly with the feminine floral fabric used for the bedstead. Meanwhile, across the way in bedroom deux, the three shades of navy adds visual layering and interest into the calmer scheme; that's why I picked out the ampersand (below) - a bit of cobalt thrown into the mix can help spice things up!

Yes, you can't go wrong with navy and white. I do like that pendant light, too! The girl in the brick house.
ReplyDeleteI love this combo..and you can still throw a little grey in there too..image No 7 still makes my heart go flip flop every time I see it. Hope you have a great weekend Will x
ReplyDeleteI adore navy and white. They remind me of living on the coast. All the pendants are pretty fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nautical feel, don't know why. I guess it's that navy and white trim sailor style dress I had in the 5th grade :) Have a fabulous weekend.

ReplyDeleteNavy and white are my favorite colors! They are so classic. You really cannot go wrong.
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking alike!! I love blue/navy and white in all things, decorating and clothing. Have a similiar T shirt to you as it is a definite classic!
ReplyDeleteLove your finds! Navy and white is the perfect colour scheme - so crisp and these rooms have just the right amount of girly and guy-y (is that a word?) to keep both happy :)

see you at the pool in Singapore!
You always find the greatest objects for your Colour Cocktail features. That pendant lamp is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. Blue and white is divine - feels fresh, contemporary and classic all at the same time. Am particularly fond of indigo - the depth of that colour mesmerizes me every time.
ReplyDeleteHave a gorgeous weekend.
