Changing my colour allegiance...

Over time, my tastes have certainly changed when it has come to the colours I am drawn to, particularly in relation to interiors. When I first became interested in decorating and design, I was drawn to blue and yellow. Over time, that love morphed into a fixation with duck-egg blue.

Now however, a quick scroll through my 'inspiration file' and pinterest boards is showing an overwhelming trend of grey and white...there is just something about the calmness and serenity of these neutrals...

I think my increasing attraction to grey has something to do with the fact that the sense of calm and order in each of these images is such a welcome contrast to the 'untidyness' of the real world...after struggling home on a crowded underground train each evening, wouldn't it be lovely to walk up to this beautiful front door, step inside and shut out the world for a little while...
