New Client Project: Color Scheme Inspiration

I was just hired by a fabulous couple in their thirties to help design their brand new house, which I'm super excited about! They want a look that's fresh, modern and comfortable with a touch of glam, but weren't quite sure what color direction to go so I created two very different color schemes to choose from. The first being one of my favorite color palettes of all time - indigo mixed with shades of blue and apple green, gray and crisp white. The second scheme is a palette that is on trend right now, with shades of aubergine, fuchsia, gray and crisp white. My clients chose board #2, which I haven't done before so it'll be a fun challenge. This year I'm really going to try and share more of the projects I'm working on, including the ones around my house. I'll be sure to keep you updated on the progress of this project as we go along! If you had to choose between these design concepts, which would you go with? I'm torn...(Be sure to click on each board to see an enlarged view).

  3. Hey, I love both of these ideas, I'm a purple girl at heart so the second board is for me! I appreciate the blue/green scheme too. Please can you tell me which system you use to create your moodboards, photoshop etc?! Thank you!

  8. Both are gorgeous but I'm leaning towards the second! I'm a sucker for the modern, glam look. Would love to do my bedroom in that soft color palette!

  13. I would without doubt choose number one. Number two is lovely and refined but number one is just so fresh and is definitely my favourite! I love the moodboards... now I know how to put together my thoughts for different rooms.
