Can't commit to one color for an entire wall? Perhaps half and half is the way for you to go? Painting half of a wall with your color of choice is one way to update a space with a little color but in a subtle way. Here are some ideas -

There isn't another color combo as classic or timeless as black and white. I have been cruising Pinterest and I'm loving the black and white wall ideas I've been seeing. What do you think?

Paint it, wallpaper it, mosaic it.... you can do so much with your walls. Get creative in just one room, an accent wall or go nuts all over the house! Check out some of these artsy wall designs and get going. : )

Maybe the inspiration for this post came from my new green and blue flip flops? Maybe it was inspired by my recent gaze outside where all I see is green trees with the beautiful blue sky? Either way, green and blue together makes sense.

Have you ever wanted to design your own wallpaper?? The "Tear Off" Wallpaper by ZNAK gets you pretty close to making that dream come true. Each panel of this wallpaper is perforated with squiggly designs that you can peel off to create whatever pattern you like. I love the idea of painting the wall first and then applying the wallpaper!! You'll see what I mean.

So, I've been eying a trend that I think is the new way of dressing up a wall. Picture stories are a simple idea that can go a long way. It is easy to whip up if you have lots of different frames and photos you've been dying to display. I think it's really fun and keeps your room interesting. It's also a great project that you and and a friend can create. Make it a Challenge and see who can make the best configuration!

I've got a love for things Ikat. There are so many different designs, lots of color and just one throw pillow can add so much fun to a room! Yep, I heart Ikat.

I was inspired to do this blog post by my friends curtains. I was at her house the other day (the cutest house I might add) and she had recently put up some green and white chevron (zig-zag) patterned curtains in her dining room. They looked amazing! They added a great pop of color to the room and the chevron pattern is eye catching but not overpowering AND she made them herself from some super marked down sheets she found. Win, win. So, her curtains got me looking around for more chevron design ideas. Enjoy.
