I've always loved the colour blue (cornflower blue to be precise). And these days this extends into the home (could this be a Scandinavian influence?!). Right now I'm considering a palette of grey-blue for my own home to mirror the sea nearby - and find myself constantly looking out for 'blue' inspiration. Like in this beautiful Swedish country house - with it's lovely light blue kitchen and the darker conservatory (OK, I admit it was probably more the idea of sitting and enjoying a morning coffee and a magazine in that conservatory which really got me!), but I love the personal touches and vintage finds too. What do you reckon - could you wile away a morning here?!

Oh so lovely. Don't you think?
Is there anything that stands out to you?
A couple of items I know and love: kitchen aid in yellow, vintage chopping boards (beautiful!), rattan 'wing chair', light grey stonewashed linen bedding.
When it comes to the shades of blue I'm working on a selection of these, I just need to take that leap (a little scary!). I might just develop my moodboard a little more with some lovely pics from the 'decorating with blue' archive first (if the first home you see is this one, just scroll past).
I'm intrigued - what colours do you have in your home?
Have a lovely day!

I agree Renaud, the light blue is absolutely lovely - very calming.

It isn't it? Especially in the conservatory.
DeleteWonder, wonderful style.
ReplyDeleteYour home sounds absolutely magical Imogene - how lucky to live in the Swiss Alps surrounded by all that beautiful scenery! Thank you for your kind words. / Niki x
ReplyDeleteThank you! *If* you are interested, there is a flickr set of the whole process (first three pages boring building work – a glimpse of the almost finished kitchen on page 4). We managed the whole thing in just over half a year with the help of family, friends and a few fantastic trades. :)
