Splashes of colour

Well following on from last week’s Gallery theme of Light, in which I showed you rather a lot of colour (and light) in my photos taken on Waterloo Bridge at sunset, this week’s theme is actually colour. So I decided to take some pictures in our house, to show you how I’ve used colour to decorate.

My natural instinct is always to go for white or neutral walls and then add splashes of colour (the white on the walls in the sitting room is actually ‘Gallery White’ and it changes colour according to the light  -so first thing in the morning it looks quite blue)…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I use orange to accentuate a lot…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and I love the deep red of these candlesticks, which are from Denmark

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But in No 1 Son’s room I decided to really go for colour and painted one entire wall silver, which contrasts well with the blue of the other walls (and the canvas prints of Darth, Steve and Che).
