Dreaming of Grey and Yellow

So, in due course, I'm moving house. 
In fact, I'm moving in with my lovely boyfriend, which is pretty exciting really.
And with moving house,and co-habiting, comes the challenge of creating a space that suits us both and not just me. 
My flat now is pretty girly. Which is understandable, considering it houses three ladies. But at the request of my boyfriend, in our new home-to-be i need to tone it down a bit.
The current colour scheme i've got going is fuschia and coral, with a bit of chartreuse/lime thrown in for good measure. I have pure white bed linen and walls, with colourful cushions, throws and lamps. I love it. It satisfies my need for bright, cheerful colours without being overpowering
So last week, after a heated discussion with said boyfriend, and him begrudgingly looking through some design magazines i thrust in his direction, we finally agreed on a new colour scheme of grey and yellow. The coral and pink has been demoted to the living room.
I said i'd put together some form of mood board/inspiration for him in a vain attempt to get him just a little bit excited about interior decor and then i thought i'd put it on my blog too, because in truth, i'm really quite pleased with it!
I found some really beautiful inspiration for our colour scheme, all from pinterest of course. Now the challenge will be deciding how to interpret it to suit us and our style.
I can't wait!



 I LOVE this head board.







What do you reckon? I think the colour scheme is a great crossover in masculine/girly style, and with stylish touches like headboards and lamps, i think it'll look beautiful!

  1. I think that grey and yellow is a great color combination for room decor. It's bright but not overwhelming.

  7. I painted my whole flat a pale dove grey colour and I adore it - everyone said it would look depressing and dull but lots of brightly coloured books and artwork provide nice little accents of colour throughout. And I'm just starting to tackle my bathroom and was leaning towards yellow to go with the grey everywhere else, so I think your colour scheme's brilliant!
