I know I’m getting in the mood for spring, and the freshness and brightness it represents—how about you? Some of my favourite colours for the home are in the pastel range—soft blues and mint greens and pale yellows.

The contrast between the wall colour and the dark wood floors makes this a vey elegant look. The architectural details in the ceiling are especially great, too.

Oh, lavender is such a nice colour! I had my room in a light purple for a while growing up. Loved it!
