Summertime: Saturated Blue Hues

Red

I can't begin to explain the extent to which I continue to be inspired by this breathtakingly beautiful colour story. Styled by Mary Norden and shot by Polly Wreford on location in Greece for Red, these beautiful photographs show just how versatile a blue colour palette can be. Shown in situ against a backdrop of traditional white washed walls and bright Greek sunshine, each and every page of azure, turquoise, cobalt and sapphire hues had me gasping with delight. Fresh, crisp and easy on the eye, these blue and white colour schemes have me reaching for my passport. Anyone for a trip to Greece?! 

A Bright, Bold & Zesty Summer Tablescape

The Contemporary Home | Selina Lake

Sensual pink-purple hues teamed with refreshing ice blue and burnt oranges give this playful summer tabletop a vibrant, festival-like vibe. Styled with a gorgeous array of bright products and accessories from The Contemporary Home, the table has a homespun, crafty feel to it thanks to patchwork bunting and small posies of blooms in colourful jars; the gaps filled with jewel-like votives. The eclectic theme continues with mix and match cutlery and napkins tied up with ribbons. Now all we need is some sunshine and we're ready to party!
