Colour of the year: Ochre Gold

A couple of weeks ago I got the opportunity to give a workshop with the new Flexa colours of 2016 at the Meet The Blogger Conference. The workshop was about creating a graphic artwork with tape and your favourite colour palette. It was so much fun and I was very impressed by the result of all the participants! You can read about it here. During the workshop, we also used the colour of the year "Ochre Gold", a very warm and strong colour that combines perfectly with light pastels or even dark earthy colours.

Again I had the great opportunity to work with Flexa. This time they asked me If I wanted to use Ochre Gold in my home, and so I did! I was already busy changing our bedroom so this was the perfect moment to give it a complete new look! After collecting and considering a lot of ideas, I decided to paint halve of the wall in Ochre Gold and finish it with a small yellow line.

I'm so happy with the result! It gives our bedroom a warm glow and I think it's a perfect match with our teak furniture & green plants! I still have a lot of ideas for some finishing touches of our bedroom like new curtains and some frames on the wall... But for now I'm very excited about his new look!
