A New Year A New Resolution!

It is that time of the year when we say goodbye to the old and welcome the NEW! It is a time to reflect on our aspirations, a time for change and yes “Resolutions”!

My New Year resolution is to LIVE LIFE IN COLOR!! Simply because color makes me happy and that is what I intend to be all year round. If you did not already know, color has a direct relation to your mood, hence through this article I am going to try and infuse some color into your lives too. Use color to uplift and freshen up your space. In any room there is always scope for one wall to receive a pattern or a strong color, which will then become the focal point of that room.

This year my favorite color combo was grey as the base and neon yellow, green, pinks and blues as the accent colors, a very playful palette.  I also drew a lot of inspiration from the colors of the peacock, such as the blues, greens, yellows & purple. Here are some pictures representing the palettes mentioned above.

My next resolution is to follow “The 3 D’s”.

• Donate
• Distribute
• Discard

We all are guilty of buying more than we need, not only does this leave us with a big hole in our pockets but also with overflowing closets.  The more storage space you have the more stuff you will accumulate. However small or big your home, a well-organized space, a few striking pieces of art is all you need to make a great impression. So go ahead empty those closets, discard the junk, open up your windows, let light and air breathe in new energy into your space. This is my mantra for a happy home and happy me!

And of course I intend to Stay Funky all year round, hope you do too! HAPPY 2013!!!
