Modern Spring Color Schemes
Light, Bright Blue
Blue is always in fashion in one hue or another. This spring, old is new again — think powder blue, but not for mens’ suits! A light or mid-tone bright modern blue is calming, especially when paired with natural elements like wood and wovens.

I love all the color. My house has a lot of neutrals but when I remodeled my office recently, I used lots of navy and white. What a difference. Everything seems much more cheerful! I love all your inspiration!
