I’m a big fan of color. Color sets moods and lifts spirits. This summer, I’ve been especially inspired by bright summer flowers. Maybe a few of these flower pictures can inspire your nursery design ideas, the colors you choose to surround your baby in / with, and your own personal style and accessory choices. Bright bold colors can brighten your day, provide the right amount of lift to an otherwise simple outfit, and stimulate your babies sense of sight. Flowers always provide fresh scents and big smiles. Flowers are a great source of Wao(TM) inspiration for your life. Enjoy and be inspired!
Summer floral colors and their meaning
Summer snap dragons
The snapdragons are a blend of gorgeous deep burgondy, bright golds and pale yellows, and a soft creamy white. This is a complete naturally occuring color scheme that is happy, uplifting, playful, and innocent:
*gold / yellow - Golds and yellows are the colors of hope and happiness. Incredibly uplifting, they are warm colors. In feng shui, yellow is used to increase self-esteem, health, and general joy; yellows are widely recommended for children’s rooms.
Sunflowers and blue skies
*white / cream - whites represent innocence, purity, and cleanliness. White touches in a room provides tranquility and a nice contrast to brighter colors (such as fuchsia). In feng shui, white is the ulitimate color and is recommended for any room. It helps clarification and provides tranquility, and it’s especially good for meditation - which can be as simple as the time spent rocking your newborn to sleep, humming lullabyes.
* blues - clear skies, refreshment, healing. The sunflowers in the picture to the right look gorgeous against the blue sky backdrop because it’s a common color combination, and it’s one that is often used in nursery designs. In feng shui, light blues represent harmony and gentle growth. Light blue in a nursery will be relaxing and soothing, promoting good sleep patterns.
Bright Pink Summer Flowers
*burgundy / fuchsia / pink - Shades of pink convey sweetness and playfulness. In the US, Pink is widely accepted as THE color of little girls. It’s a feminine color. The deeper shades, such as the burgundy add strength. In feng shui, pink is the LOVE color and is recommended for little girls rooms.
The image to the left, the pinks w/ black background and touches of white, directly reflects a color scheme that I am currently using in design. In fact, my own daughter has her “Name in Brights” in the zebra minky w/ the pink plush.
