Complementary Colour Scheme
Who needs pink when you can you can have aqua blue and rich salmon? Lilly Layne's room is radiantly coloured and playful, she is delighted to hang out with her dollys and friends in here.
This Complementary Colour scheme is sharp and clean. The harmony of colour is evident through a narrow effortless colour palette and a striking vertical line wallpaper provides a fabulous backdrop for little Lilly's bed.
The detailed rhythm of design is shown through the careful choice and placement of wall art, cushion and throw.
Opposites attract is the rule here. Choosing a complementary colour scheme can be very bold and brave, or by using shades and tints more muted but still super sassy. Both the blue/green and red/orange that l have chosen are tertiary colours. There is a marvelous array of Complementary Colour Choices.
Lilly Layne's Colour Palette
I love how these hues springboard each other into life.
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all

Choices and Challenges
"Happiness is not the absence of problems; it's the ability to deal with them." Steve Maraboli
Ok Bloggers today l have given you a challenge; two choices.
On the right l have stuck with the original blog picture colour scheme.
But on the left l have mixed things up by picking the opposing colours.
Tweak things, change them up, use your palette like a jigsaw puzzle, adding and taking away till you are satisfied.
This exercise will help, when you are really sure of your colours, but not sure of how to spend your colour clout.
"it's true - you can get the look too"
wallpaper will give you. I have chosen to go with the alternative colour scheme from the left, I reckon Lilly Layne would love this option too. This paper really retains the wonderful vertical line design element from Lilly's room. The red/orange colour contrasting with the white gives a really similar feel to the blog wallpaper.wallpaper
You'll note that this chair is armless, just like the blog bedside chair. I picture this as a super place for parents to read bedtime stories and encourage their children through life's hiccups and triumphs. bedside chair
What a great throw, the colour is warm and works wonderfully in this complementary colour scheme. throw
Cushions are a license to play, but be careful not to overdose on them and lose your rhythm of design. The flower cushion in the 'Girls Only' picture shows both a hue and a softer tint; you can get that cushion from bosinteriors . The blue/green cushion on the left here is from felt and it would work well in the original scene as it matches the wallpaper hue perfectly. The red/orange cushion from freedomfurniture adds texture to the setting through its knitted covering. The far right cushion tones in better with the throw pictured and l really like that it has girly flowers on it. Buy this from thewarehouse.
When researching colours and products on the internet, be sure not to rule things out if they don't match your selected palette perfectly, until you have personally viewed them. Colours vary alot depending on what program and computer you are using. Here are the links that l sourced from the second option.
