We all love inspiration boards as a starting point for home decorating. Here are a few that will ignite your creativity from Farrow and Ball.

Inspiration Board: Fig
Deep purples, almost black, sultry, sophisticated

Paint: Pelt, No. 254

Pair with:
Great White, No. 2006
Stony Ground, No. 211
Card Room Green, No. 79

Wallpaper: Plain Stripe, ST 1130

Personal & Room Scent: Jo Malone Wild Fig & Cassis (Candle available in May 2010)

Editor’s Note: I adore the color purple but have never cared for it as a wall color…until this! I guess it’s the gray undertones that I am attracted to—it’s very sophisticated. Check out how well the color inside of the fig complements the palate. Wouldn’t pillows in this color be a brilliant, and unexpected, accent?

Inspiration Board: Grapefruit
Light, refreshing, breezy, whimsical

Paint: Farrow’s Cream, No. 67

Pair with:
Dauphin, No. 54
Vert De Terre, No. 234
White Tie, No. 2002

Wallpaper: The Vermicelli Papers, BP 1535

Personal & Room Scent: Jo Malone Grapefruit (Candle Available in May 2010)

Editor’s Note: This is my favorite! It feels elegant and chic but not too serious. I could see this in any room in my house.  J’adore taupes and blues…

Inspiration Board: Spa-scape
Subdued greens, soothing, peaceful, relaxing

Paint: Breakfast Room Green, No. 81

Pair with:
Calke Green, No. 34
Slipper Satin, No. 2004
Carriage Green, No. 94

Wallpaper: The Bamboo Papers, BP 2139

Personal & Room Scent: Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin (Candle Available in May 2010)

Editor’s Note: I can see myself soaking in a big white tub and relaxing to the soothing Jo Malone scent as it floats delicately through the air…geez, I’m deep : )

Inspiration Board: Pomegranate & Raspberries
Serious reds, bold, brash, unafraid, confident

Paint: Eating Room Red, No. 43

Pair with:
Hague Blue, No. 30
Dead Salmon, No. 28
Pink Ground, No. 202

Wallpaper: The Ringwold Papers, BP 1624

Personal & Room Scent: Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir (Candle Available in May 2010)

Editor’s Note: Wow! I can see this combination in a fabulous dining room or maybe even a master bedroom—but I don’t know if I’m fearless enough to commit to that much red!

Inspiration Board: Urban Natural
City & country mix, stripes & bold prints, organic & industrial

Paint: Oval Room Blue, No. 85

Pair with:
Picture Gallery Red, No. 42
Black Blue, No. 95
Pointing, No. 2003

Wallpaper: The Lotus Papers, BP 2053

Personal & Room Scent: JoC Malone Blue Agava & Cacao (Candle Available in May 2010)

Editor’s Note: The wallpaper is so graphic and it would definitely make a grand statement in a living room. I like how they chose a more casual stripe fabric and hint to bringing in some natural elements—this would make the room feel more comfortable and approachable.
