I've never been away from my blog in recent few weeks - so trust me, it felt good but returning to having no posts ready for my readers felt rather disappointing. So i did a little mid-year resolution - to not be away for so long !! The reason : We were travelling between Kunal's parents home in Vapi and Mumbai. We are making a big house with so many different rooms to be decorated - a Mumbai based girl / blogger / art fanatic / colour crazy girls' dream come true !!!!
Here was my dilemma ... Taste in decor is so subjective. White vs color, minimalism vs opulence, glamorous vs rustic, the list goes on. You may lean toward one particular style or mix a few together – either way, everyone in the family is an ALPHA and is sure to have their own unique interpretation. But I realised quickly .. One of the easiest ways to make a statement no matter what your style is to incorporate a pop of jewel toned color. Jewel tones can be a dramatic accent for any interior; whether it’s the color of every wall in a room filled with equally saturated tones or a single chair set against pale neutrals, there’s something warm and inviting about these elegant and dramatic hues. I combed far n wide in search of interiors that convey the aesthetic impact vibrant jewel tones can create, and here are some of my favorites!
