Colour Inspiration
Inspiration is what drives good design. We see something that speaks to us, whether it be a painting, a pillow, or something we come across while travelling, and it inspires us to re-decorate a room, spruce up our spaces, or create something beautiful. But at times, we all get stuck in a rut and need a little help getting the creative juices flowing. That's where Design Seeds comes in. It's a great website that takes everyday images, and pulls a colour scheme from it. Check out some of these images and colors that inspire me!
And to take it even a step further, http://www.colourlovers.com/ lets you play with your own color schemes, and even create patterns with it! Check out some colour palettes I was working with while designing my blog theme.

We can even look to our pets for some color inspiration!

Check out my profile at Colour Lovers here. (I'm just starting so I don't have too many palettes yet, but keep checking in with me!)
So next time you need a little colour inspiration, take a good look at the everyday items around you and see what you come up with! You'll never look at your plate of food or loving pet the same way again!
