Inspiration: Butterflies


On my recent vacation I spotted some pretty butterflies. And I was immediately inspired to have them not only in my photo collections, but also applied on my home decoration.

As pillow/cushion is one of my favourite decoration objects, here you can see the beautiful butterflies in the form of beautiful batik motifs on pillow/cushion covers.


Below here I use the butterfly cushion as a floor cushion, suitable for your casual activity room indoors or outdoors, such as while watching TV, in reading corner, or even relaxing by the garden on tea time.


In a more conventional way, you can put it on your living room couch. The butterfly pattern on the cushion covers is almost an effortless way to bring the nature beauty inside your home.


What's more, you can actually have the exact cushion covers here :)

Orange Crush

Still about "What's your favourite color?" poll, another least voted color is Orange.

When used in a room, Yes, a bright orange color can fell intimidating sometimes, but not if you know how to pull it together.

And here's how. You see, orange evokes excitement, enthusiasm and is an energetic color. To make it work in any room, make sure you combine orange shades with purple and/ or green shades. This combination will surely match because orange, purple, and green form a triadic color scheme, which is they form a triangle in the color wheel.

Feel the combination of the three colors is too colorful for your taste? Then choose only two of them. In my preference - since I LLove green - I like to boast green on the wall then use orange only for punches of colors here and there. That way the orange color is not only fun and playful but also warm and inviting at the same time.

Yellow is Not Mellow

From our last poll "What's your favourite color?" we can see some least favourite colors voted.

One of them is Yellow.

What is it about yellow anyway? (though I didn't vote for the color as well)

Is it because most people would picture a striking sunny yellow for the mentioned color? If so, yes, that color is fatiguing to the eyes. Yet yellow could be adapted in so many shades and ways in home decorating, like what I'm about to share here now.

You can easily put yellow color on the walls, from pale to deep, for an instant perk up. Yellow captures the joy of sunshine and reflects happiness. It’s suitable for kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, where happy color is needed for energizing. Yellow also can feel expansive and welcoming in halls, entries, and small spaces.



If you are still on the fence about the idea of yellow walls, you can paint only 1 wall in the room, make it a color feature wall. Or you can even paint striped pattern on the wall, alternating yellow with other color that you consider as 'save' (e.g. white).

And even when you still don't want to put any yellow on the wall, you can still opt for a saver way to use the color, like on furniture and some decoration objects shown here from IKEA.
