my favorite color of the moment....

BOOM.

Citrine.

Do you love it? Do you hate it? I personally L O V E it. All caps. That's a lot of love.

I know, I know. Color can be intimidating. I even struggle with bold color (in my own space) and I'm a designer. But this color - oy! It's so fresh and energizing!

I think my favorite thing is that is can be paired with so many other colors!! Just look at it with teal or peacock blue....

Oh to have a client so bold!

 

Here's an interior I put together with citrine as an accent. Chartreuse, Citrine, Midori, Lime Green...call it what you will! It doesn't have to be a main feature but even used sparingly, it is just so dang happy!! You can easily incorporate bold colors into your home using your current neutral furniture.

(if you are interested in any of the above products...leave a comment and I'll tell you where they're from.)

So tell me! What are your thoughts on this bold color? Do you love it? Do you hate it? Would you add some citrine accents to your house?

I bet a certain someone who reads my blog (hi mum!) is laughing right now because all I own at this point in citrine is a pillow that sits on my all white bed. When I make my bed. Which is never.

That said, I'd REALLY like to branch out and add more citrine (and peacock blue) to my own house.
