LILAC + TANGERENE

Some of you may remember that back in January I started dreaming of office space for coco+kelley. Well... the space I had in mind fell through, but I'm determined to find something this summer, and can't wait to decorate! Which - of course - means that I'm dreaming up color palettes...

Just like my home, I imagine I'll want to switch things up in the office here and there, but I do think having a color scheme that I'm drawn to, but might not want in the house, is a great possibility. Which is why I'm seriously considering a little lilac with punches of tangerine...

I really love the mix of modern with Moroccan influences, and the one piece I've had on my wish list for some time  now is the sofa from Crate & Barrel which happens to come in lilac as a stock fabric option (they also have a desk I'm drooling over). I'd love to have a corner of the office space be a sitting area where anyone can get comfy and settle in on the laptop or with coffee and magazines when we need a little break from work - and these pieces would be a fabulous start! What do you think of this scheme?

A LITTLE LILAC LOVE

Ever since this post, I've been completely obsessed with the combination of lilac + red...
Whether it's a vibrant pop of red lipstick or a trail of ruched flowers down a delicate dress...
It's quite possibly my new favorite tabletop inspiration for its complete originality and surprising softness - a perfect alternative holiday setting, don't you think?

On top of that...
There's this gorgeousness. Lilac with a rusty tone seems almost just as good.
Even in this room of pastels, the lilac is balanced so well by bronzes and natural wovens. And while were at it... how about those topiaries??
