A fun post from apartmenttherapy about the colours that define each decade from the past century. Perhaps you’re trying to channel a certain decade, or perhaps avoid it, or maybe you just want to armchair time travel to see historical colours. Enjoy!

Mad Men is credited for bringing the 60s back into the decor, and now Bridgerton is being credited for bringing the regency style back in, creating an eclectic look of traditional and modern. Nothing pleases me more if it means antiques will once again be popular. I’ve appreciated antique furniture since forever and have been rather sad of late to see older pieces fall out of favour. Indeed my favourite look is to mix old with new, and if Bridgerton has succeeded at creating that look – then hooray to Bridgerton.

ApartmentTherapy tells us that according to Clare “a new green paint shade is for colour lovers and neutral fans alike”. The odd question is who is Clare? Normally in an article when a reference is made to someone’s comment we are told who this person is, but is seems Clare needs no introduction. Well that being said check out this particular shade of green.

In keeping with the subject of trends, it seems wallpaper is gaining in popularity. I like wallpaper in a powder room! A powder is to me a good room to go crazy in design-wise. As for wallpaper elsewhere – well, it’s very personal so don’t think you’re increasing the value of your home. But if it’s fun and you wish to have fun go for it.

Earn/Spend/Live has put together a list of 34 home decor trends that will rule in 2022. You know how I typically feel about trends; I tend to collect and decorate with what I have. That being said, I do find it fun to be aware of what is on or off-trend. One may not want to be completely on-trend but perhaps living in 1965 would be off: unless you were completely mid-century modern.

In a recent post, House & Garden proposes a selection of pics of rooms painted with Farrow and Ball paint. I’m not that familiar with Farrow and Ball paint. I do know the paint is created with natural pigments and there are 132 shades.

Have you ever used it?
