Color schemes inspired by nature: Part 2

Flowers, everywhere.

I visited Yosemite National Park in August. There were wildflowers everywhere. I thought wildflowers were a spring phenomenon and that I would have to visit earlier in the year to see them. Not so.

My favorite was this mountain meadow fringed by pine trees and covered with white lacey flowers. (I wish I knew what they were called. Anyone?) When I was standing there, it felt like the flowers were all around me.

So, here's the same bathroom I sketched for part 1 of this blog series, this time dressed in green and white. The wallpaper gives the feeling of being enveloped in a flower-filled meadow while the taupe cabinets and wood-look tile ground the room.

3D Rendering of Bathroom Design by Jackie Lopey, CID 6824

When you're putting together a room based on an inspiration photo or sketch, work with physical samples rather than pictures - it's the only way to make sure all of the colors and textures work together. In this case, you order or pick samples of: the wall paper, paint, floor tile, countertop material, and the cabinet finish.
