How to Create Your Home’s Perfect Color Palette – Mykonos Edition

Welcome to this edition of โ€œColor Me Happy โ€“ How to Create Your Homeโ€™s Perfect Color Palette!โ€

If you didnโ€™t read the previous edition (blue Southern cottage edition),ย  click here to check out the super fun & funky color palette that I created.

The palette I selected was definitely a departure from my usual decorating color aesthetic which made it SO much fun to just let go and be totally creative.

I GOT MYKONOS ON MY MIND โ€ฆ

This editionโ€™s color palette is a bit more subdued but still quite interesting and relaxing (both elements are always very important to me whenever Iโ€™m designing a space for someone).

I had the gorgeous island of Mykonos, Greece on the brain for whatever reason.ย  Probably because I know Iโ€™ll never visit such an amazing place due to my crippling fear of flying on planes.ย  Yeah, Iโ€™m one of those people.

I decided not to use one of the typical, brightly-colored images of Mykonos and searched for an image that was more on the neutral side and came across the beautiful image above.

When I first saw this stunningly beautiful photo on TheSweetestWay.com, I immediately felt a sense of peace and serenity come over me and I knew it would be the perfect image to use for this post!

This mood board is just a basic starting point, but you can always get more creative with the color combinations by using the palette as your guide.

Just remember this:ย  Decorating is andย shouldย be fun โ€“ it shouldnโ€™t stress you out.ย  If it does, somethinโ€™ ainโ€™t right โ€ฆ
