color pop.
i’ve been noticing this trend of painting a ‘faux’ wainscoting on walls these days — giving the illusion of wainscoting without the molding. just a swipe of bright color or some color blocking on a wall makes a room visually interesting, without spending a lot of time or money — just the cost of painting a pop of color. i like those kinds of diy fixer-uppers. easy on you, easy on the wallet and the look is eclectic and fun.

The ombre technique is really beautiful and unique. I love the colorblocking as well!

I was wide awake and loving the pics until I saw that crunchy couch image from Clive Tompsett. Now I just want to take a lazy nap on that pillow-laden wonder. I am lovin’ that whole thing up there, pink half wall and all.
loving this technique – thanks for sharing!
I love this trend as well! Especially that second pic from the bottom. Perfection.
Beautiful.
But can we please retire the phrase ” pop of color”?
Interesting trend. Love these splashes of color. Delicious!
eye candy. i LOVE the pink and yellow color blocking 3rd from the top.

I love this. I am really into neutrals so a pop of color works for me.

I love the colour block walls and the rope banister though I’m not too sure how safe that is lying at the top of the stairs… :)
I love these ideas! I keep thinking of making a slipcover for summer in the pink linen from IKEA that would be similar to the one in the above photo. The pink on that wall is very nice too. Oh, and that is is two-toned! OK, I just love that room!
