COLOR LOVES - NAVY

We love navy - it's elegant, understated and can be combined with almost any color. If you want to go for the pure navy look and not pair it with strong other colors, you can go for a combination of navy and white (nautical, simple, classic), navy and grays (elegant & classic) or add tones of browns, beiges and sand (natural, rustic but classy).

Rakastamme tummansinistä – se on elegantti, vähäeleinen ja voidaan yhdistää lähes minkä tahansa värin kanssa. Jos haluat täysin tummansiniseen keskittyvän värimaailman, ilman voimakkaita värejä, yhdistele seuraavasti: tummansininen + valkoinen (merihenkinen, simppeli ja klassinen), tummansininen + harmaan -sävyt (elegantti ja klassinen) tai lisää hiekan, ruskean ja beigen sävyjä tummansiniseen (luonnollinen, rustiikkinen, mutta klassinen).

Navy gets a fresh look by combining it with aqua, teal and mint tones. Add some sandy shades & whites and you have the perfect color scheme for a beachy, summer wedding. If you want to go for a more fun and cheerful scheme, add pops of yellow to the palette - check out this shoot for inspiration. You could also combine the navy and aqua palette with shades of hot pink or coral for a preppy and modern look.

Tummansininen saa raikkaan ilmeen kun se yhdistetään aquan ja mintun sävyihin. Lisää hiekan sävyjä & valkoista ja saat täydellisen väriyhdistelmän rantahenkisiin kesähäihin. Jos haluat tehdä paletista hauskemman, lisää hieman keltaista. Voit myös lisätä palettiin hieman pinkkiä ja korallin sävyjä luodaksesi preppymäisen ja modernimman lookin.

If you like it preppy, navy combined with pinks and blush tones might be your perfect color palette. Leave out hot pinks and go for only soft blush tones to get a more classy and elegant look. Add some striped patterned fabrics and you've got a beautiful but fun nautical theme. Another lovely preppy color scheme is navy + white + green - check out these bridesmaids' outfits for inspiration.

Jos pidät preppy-lookista, tummansininen yhdistettynä pinkkiin voi olla täydellinen väripaletti sinulle. Jätä pinkki pois ja yhdistele pelkästään vaaleita ja pehmeitä punan -sävyjä saadaksesi elegantimman ja klassisemman lookin. Lisää pinkkiin raidallisia ja pilkkullisia kuvioita saadaksesi merihenkisen kokonaisuuden.

Navy, yellow + white is a lovely scheme for a spring or summer wedding or party, especially an outdoor one. It's not overly preppy, yet fun. It's bright and cheerful, yet classical. You can also add some beige and sand tones to give it a little rustic touch.

Tummansininen, keltainen + valkoinen on ihana väriyhdistelmä keväiseen tai kesäiseen hääjuhlaan, eteenkin ulkona pidettäviin juhliin. Yhdistelmä ei ole liian preppy, mutta kuitenkin hauska. Se on kirkas ja iloinen, kuitenkin klassinen. Voit lisätä beigeä tuomaan kokonaisuudesta hieman rustiikkisen.

Coral and peach tones work beautifully with navy. You can go for a fresh setting of coral, navy and whites or give it a bit of a rustic & natural feel by pairing the color with beige and browns. We particularly love this inspiration shoot combining the color combo with a setting and brown & gold tones.

Korallin ja persikan sävyt toimivat kauniisti tummansinisen kanssa. Voit yhdistellä sävyt raikkaasti valkoisen kanssa tai tehdä yhdistelmästä hieman rustiikkisemman yhdistämällä palettiin beigeä ja ruskeaa. Koita myös yhdistelmään kultaista!

COLOR LOVES - MINT

Today's color love feature is all about shades of mint and seafoam. It's such a versatile color that can be used in classical, cute and even preppy event designs. By itself mint is fresh and pretty, but chic at the same time. Pair it with lots of white for an extra fresh look.

If you want to go very classic, chic and elegant, pair off-shades of mint and seafoam with gold and neutral tones from cream over blush to beige and light brown. Add some very dark brown tones to give it a more masculin and dramatic touch.



This color palette works beautifully in either rustic environments like barns or in historical spaces with chandeliers, ornate ceilings and white walls.

For a feminine and pretty look, pair shades of bright mint with peach and blush tones. The color combo is perfect for romantic summer weddings, bridal and baby showers. Don't you love how light and airy these colors look together?

If you like it preppier, replace the peach shades with strong coral tones + black and white.

NEW FEATURE: COLOR LOVES - TANGERINE TANGO

Hello readers! It's been a bit quiet on the blog during the first week of 2012. Lotta was busy painting our new studio and I was super-busy taking in New York. If you plan on going and love event styling or decorating, buy the book "A stylist's guide to NYC". It's been serving me so well! Although make sure to look up the store and restaurant locations online before heading out, some of the places are not exactly where the book says.

Now that I'm back and got over my jetlag, I'll be posting a lot more again, so stay tuned. Today we're starting a new regular feature for all of you, who plan a wedding or a party or simply want some inspiration for re-decorating the home. Often we come across brides-to-be who want their wedding to be a certain color. One color. Because it's a color they love. In many cases, they tend to stick to just the one color, because they are not really certain which colors would complement the shade picked or what effect a 2nd and 3rd color added would have. We'd like to help with that. We'll be picking a shade regularly, show it by itself and combined with colors that match. If you have any requests for color features, a color you'd love to see combined with others, just shoot us an email or leave a comment under this post.

We're kicking off this feature with the pantone color of 2012: Tangerine Tango. A rich, vibrant orange that will add splashes of fresh color to any space or event.




A rich tone of orange used in a clean white space makes for a fresh, stylish and modern setting. Combine tangerine tango with lighter, softer shades of orange and peach to tone down the effect a little.  If you're not lucky enough to have a space this bright white, you can also use it with brown woods or all shades of gray.

Shades of blue and aqua will really make tangerine pop. Use soft, light shades of aqua, turquoise or light blue as the base colors for your space and just add a few pops of tangerine. You'll have a lovely and balanced look perfect for spring and summer. You can add pops of yellow and even pink for a vibrant, fresh, summery event setting.

Add dark orange to dark hues of blue and the effect will be more dramatic and rich. Use sleek fabrics and clean surfaces to create a more elegant setting. Use this color combo for example in an old barn, add heavy woods, and you'll have a more rustic look.

Tangerine goes great with all shades of purples and lilac. Combined with deep shades of purples, you can create a range of different settings: in elegant spaces with sleek fabrics or lace, you create a very dramatic, yet romantic effect. Use the color combo with more earthy materials, like clay, raw or vintage woods and you can create a folklore style setting or a fiesta style event.

Pops of tangerine on light or muted shades of lilac make for an unconventional, elegant setting. Perfect for (semi-)formal weddings
