How To use color with Your neutral table decor including accent plates and vases

Hello and good morning friends! As summer has finally arrived, I am taking the opportunity to share some fun ways to use color with your neutral table decor! This can easily be done with accent plates, fresh fruit and vases with blooming flowers. Lenox kindly sent me some of their beautiful products to share with you for this post today and I can’t wait to show you how it pulled all together!

For starters, it is always a good idea to use painted vases on your tabletop and add even more color with flowers. These Lenox painted indigo vases (Floral Tall, Drip Glaze Low, and Floral Tapered) were a lovely touch of blue. I chose to decorate with a trio of them as part of the special centerpiece arrangement. Here are some tips below on how you can also make these colorful arrangements…

Line your vases up along the center of the table. I kept them staggered by height.

Then, I like to use my fullest flowers first (i.e. fluffy hydrangeas and bursting peonies). Even smaller and shorter vases can hold bigger flowers just fine!

Next, begin to add filler greenery or smaller budded florals. This creates height and interest to each arrangement.

And because this post is talking about incorporation of color… I chose to pick one vivid colored floral to pop a bit in each bouquet. I quickly grabbed a bunch of our peach cottage roses from the front garden! 

Even without the bright flowers, these detailed vases would bring such a lovely touch to any tablescape! I love the richness and pattern each vase showcases.

Now onto dishes!

Here you can see this classic set of white dishware from Lenox. It is called the Tin Can Alley Seven Degree and it is a set that can be used for many celebrations, dinner parties and/or brunches to come! I especially love the detail of the ridges around each plate and the profile of the bowl. It is nice and low making it sophisticated for any setting.

Like most any decor, adding accents to the mix makes everything that much more fun! This Lenox Passion Bloom Accent Plate finishes the set in my humble opinion!

Now the table setting is a bit more festive and summer ready by adding these splashes of color in the accent plate.

There are splatters of shiny gold flecks throughout the pattern, which makes the design elegant for any event.

And while I LOVE my neutral decor (and no that will most likely not change any time soon ;)…

I do crave color and think that having special pieces that implement color are important as well.

As you can see above the pieces are interchangeable and work well when placed all together.

Fruit displayed atop a summer salad is a wonderful way to bring in even more color if you like!

Juicy strawberries, bright berries and more, are a sweet accompaniment to the Lenox dishware.

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
