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
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
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
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
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: Jo Malone Blue Agava & Cacao
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.
Which inspiration board speaks to you and where would you use it?
