Hemlock is a springtime foliage color and flourishes as a decorative and ornamental green.

Sand is a neutral color evoking the warm and carefree images of a beach in summer.

Paloma is a quintessential neutral that when paired with any other color creates a sophisticated style.

Cayenne is a spicy red and heats up the appearance of neutral colors.

Freesia is a blazing yellow inducing cheerfulness and high- energy.

Radiant Orchid (also Pantones 2014 Color of the Year) is a bold counterpart to Violet Tulip. Dazzling Blue is a brilliant polar opposite to Placid Blue.

They are perfect companions to pastels and add an element of vivacity when combined with other bold colors.

Pantones Spring 2014 Color Palette aims to create stability through the composition of the palette while also allowing experimentation with new and intriguing looks due to the inherent versatility of the individual colors.

You can bring the graceful look and sweet smell of spring indoors by decorating your home with fresh and beautiful flowers. Flowers can set any kind of decorative tone throughout your home.

You can create your own floral arrangements using flowers from your garden or you can purchase floral creations weekly from your local florist. Tie the flowers with delicate ribbons and lace or place them in bubble bowls and glass vases.

Some flowers are stained using a floral dye that protects and preserves the flower while also fitting nicely into your rooms color scheme! If you do opt to go to a florist, make sure to ask if their flowers are imported directly from the grower.Flowers that come directly from the grower on a weekly basis usually last much longer. Lilies, tulips and daffodils are excellent flowers to celebrate spring but a bouquet of fragrant roses also makes excellent decorative accents.

Either way you go about it, you can add a delicate element of natural beauty with a feminine touch to your interior design.

Green is the color most associated with St. Patrick’s Day, which not only commemorates the death of the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick but is also linked with Irish culture in general. In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, I’ve compiled some beautifully designed interior living spaces that feature vibrant green as its main or accent color.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Happy Pi Day – and no, I don’t mean that kind of pie!

March 13th (3/14) of every year marks the commemoration of the mathematical constant Pi! Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.

As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue forever without repetition or pattern.

It’s no surprise that the infamous street known as “Rainbow Row” in Charleston, South Carolina is a huge tourist attraction when heading down south. Rainbow Row is a series of thirteen colorful row houses painted in pastel blues, yellows, pinks and greens located on East Bay Street.

In 1778, a fire destroyed much of the neighborhood but only a small number of houses were spared on the street. In 1931, a section of these houses were purchased in hopes to one day restore them. Eventually, funds were gathered to restore a few of the homes and were painted in pale pinks to resemble a colonial Caribbean color scheme. Overtime the remaining houses were restored and the new owners sought to continue the trend by painting their houses in the present day pastel colors.

“Rainbow Row” used to be located directly on the riverfront of the Cooper River before it was filled in later on. A common myth behind the using of the brightly colored paint was so that intoxicated sailors would know which home was theirs when coming into port!
