Three Nell Hill’s designers share spring-inspired flatlays
With springtime about to bloom, I am inspired to start incorporating daring colors that have been dormant throughout the last few months. While blue and green are colors I shall forever adore and use to adorn my spaces, my eyes have been wandering over to the warmer side of things with visions of sunny days and warm breezes bringing yellow to the forefront of my mind.
Every year Pantone picks a wonderful color of the year for us all to enjoy. However, while I love periwinkle, this year is going to be all about green (for me, at least)! If you follow along with the goings on in the shop, you know that I have been a big fan of green for years (and really, my whole life), but I am turning up the volume on my obsession. Greens are having a big year in 2022 from avocado to emerald and sage – I love them all.
There is nothing quite like the start of a new chapter to reflect on days (and styles) past. Each year brings such breathtaking trends that is seems a shame to leave all of them behind. Now don’t get me wrong, there are quite a few things I would like to leave in 2021 as we begin a fresh and exciting 2022, but I can’t help but reflect on a few items I hope to be bringing with me as well.
Sometimes when a craving hits it can’t be ignored! I’ve been experience cravings not only with my sweet tooth but with my other tastes as well. It all started last week when one of our wonderful team members, Karen, brought in delicious lemon bars for the crew. I hadn’t had such a bright flavor in quite a while, and it hit me that I needed more bright and juicy tastes and colors in my life. How fun is it that inspiration can come from the most unexpected (and delicious) of sources! I’ve now made it a point to bring vibrant lime, fresh orange, and tart lemon colors into our décor to embrace this sharp and joyful feeling that I don’t want to shake!
Bring on the color! While bringing new shades into your home can sometimes be an overwhelming process, I have a few tips in this weeks blog post to make it easy and fun! Right now I am loving green and have been incorporating it into the shop whenever I can.
Vignettes help tell the story of your design, and are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to change up the look and feel of a room without a significant investment in repainting or new furniture. Vignettes can introduce new colors and textures to a room, and are creative and fun ways for you to highlight some of your favorite pieces.
While I firmly believe that there is no “wrong” way to style a vignette, we’ve come up with a few tips and tricks to make it even easier for you to recreate this look in your own homes!
“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” These brilliant words by Mark Twain kicked off a Pantone Color Seminar that Mary Carol and I attended at Atlanta Market in January. Mary Carol looked over at me, raised her eyebrows and smiled. We were off to a good start!
I recently received an Instagram message from a customer in need of tablescape inspiration for a Valentine’s Day dinner for her and 11 of her closest friends. She, like many of us, felt uninspired by the abundance of sparkly red hearts and chubby little cupids floating around this time of year. I totally get it! So of course, we did what we do best – we turned up some of our favorite tunes and got to work designing a solution!
There are some iconic pairings that stand the test of time. Like peanut butter and jelly (still a viable dinner option after a long day in the shop for this working mama), Holmes and Watson, and of course Blue and White chinoiserie in home décor. This iconic color combo is having a major moment in interior design, but we’re here to remind you that it simply never went out of style!
