Mint

Mint is a very subtle shade. As a teen this was my wall colour. It was so fresh it made me think of the ocean. It is both pretty and mature and can be used as cute hint of colour in an all white room and is easily paired with pastel hues of peach and pink. I prefer to play it safe with this shade as it doesn't always stand up to bold colours. Check out this styling by Sarah Ellison for Real Living Magazine 2011 for some inspiration. There are lots of accessories in this shade on the market from cute clocks like the ones from My Little Empire for $69.95 to the scatter cushions of Adairs in Vintage washed Linen $59.95 (these feel amazing!!!).

Neon animal print

I like a tasteful splash of animal print and there are some pretty impressive examples on the market. Great as an edgy accent with neutrals or as part of an eclectic mash up of wild patterns. Some of my favourite print pieces are Evie Kemps Big Cat cushions, available of Superette for $99. Check out Evie's website for lots of amazing goodies. Can't get enough of the off the wall neon animal prints!
