~COLOURS!~
Colours, Colours, Colours! 
There is never anything wrong with just a nice bit of colour! The splash of excitement can be put in anywhere! 
~Patterned Curtains
~Cushions
~Duvet set
~Accessories (Check out: "That Cute Little Touch" ~Check out my article for more!)

How do i use colour most effectively?
I divide colour into two main categories
~ Neutral and Pastels.
~Bright Bold Statement colours.

With Neutrals and Pastels, paint all your walls the same colour, and add the bursts of flavour through other pieces. Maybe a Big statement piece ~Check out my article for more!

Bright Bolf Statement Colours:
Be very careful! Painting all your bedroom walls a bright vibrant colour is the same as pasting a bold wallpaper over all the walls!
1.Lets use the colour Red as an example. When applying red to your room, only add it to half the walls in the room. So if you had 4 main walls , add it to two of them, the other two splash on a neutral colour! You can have the wall corresponding or beside each other, which ever you think is best, i couldn't say my opinion without seeing the room myself! 
This house has chosen to use red as a feature wall!
               


OR


There is another option! paint all your walls that vibrant colour, but tone the room down by using neutral colours for furnishings!    
Some chose to combine both, and have neutral furnishing, and not all the walls painted. It really depends on the room, and what you are trying to achieve!

Patterns and Pastels!


Patterns and Pastels!
Hello all, Hope everyone is having gorgeous weather, and looking great in their vintage swimsuits suggested by The Country Rose , if you haven't read this fabulous article then, click here!
Anyhow , i really need to do an interior blog for you guys, since i have been covering all the events recently!

Today i am going to do a boys room for everyone , shabby chic style!
Patterns and Pastels, i love both those words to pieces and i personally think they are two words combined for life!

Lets start off by the wallpaper, many people could think this is a tough thing to select, but is couldn't be anymore simple! The trick is to take the pattern from the wallpaper and use it for other little touches in the room like a cushion or use to make a patch work quilt or rim the curtains with it! If you can't find material in the same pattern as your wallpaper you simply pick a colour from it and yes that colour , it all ties in well which ever way you do it!
This is a simple and easy yet effective wallpaper for any room!
Lets take a look at some selections i have made for wallpapers...
 I love this pattern and chose it in particular because it had more than one colour in it giving you a wider choice of accessories! 
Right now then , having showed those wallpapers it sometimes can be nice to simply have pastel walls and a patterned carpet, For example:


The furnishing in this is quite cunning , with a mix of modern and shabby chic styles! for example the bed is modern , yet the chair and back cabinet are shabby chic!
Now you are probably wondering , how i will do the furniture! well this is easy too! Shabby Chic is by far not just a feminine thing, take a look at this furniture, it is just so cute!
I have never seen anything like this bed, i love it, one of a kind , so unique!

These cabinets give off that old vibe , but are still cutting edge in style!

Last but not least, the lovely plush chair!
Striped , or neutral colours with a pillow on to add some colour maybe, make a great chair!
Well there you have it! It is easy to make a boys room when you know how! As always comment questions and ideas for future articles below! I hope you enjoyed this article and as always follow us and support us on our websites! For more information click here! Thank you for reading :) Have a lovely week, Much Love, Buttercup x
