Sky Blue + White + Fuchsia

Blue and white are a common bedroom color scheme duo, but throwing in fuchsia takes the scheme from basic to unique. The duvet and bolster pillow served as the inspiration and also guided the right color ratios. Blue, the background of the duvet, is used the most, while white plays out in medium doses, and fuchsia is kept as an accent, which keeps the look refined, not theatrical.

Sand + Weathered White + Sea Glass

Bring the look of a beach resort home with a palette inspired by a seaside locale. Start with a base of sandy browns and weathered whites and layer in dusty blues and greens. Think beyond paint shades for the bedroom when putting together a beachy scheme. Here, hand-glazed woven raffia wallpaper and slate tiles convey seaside textures.

Coral-Orange + Aqua Blue + Latte White

Neutral walls and furniture in shades of similar warm white create a cloud-like backdrop for vibrant coral-orange and aqua blue. Abstract floral print shams on the bed provide the inspiration for the color scheme and the rest of the room's elements follow suit. To start your bedroom color scheme, find a pillow or bedspread with colors you love and build from there. Often, bedding comes in coordinated sets, but don't be afraid to break them up. Mix and match, or leave parts of the set out. For example, nix the bed skirt that matches the pillows and opt for a version in a solid color that blends with the rest of the bedding.

The colour palette in your own home is a great place to look for cozy colour inspiration. Incorporating hints of rich, deep jewel tone winter colours can be done by simply working in colours and accessories that are darker versions of your existing home colour palette.

Incorporating jewel tone colours for the winter is an easy way to transition your home decor  from fall, through the holidays, and into spring. If your home colour palette includes touches of lighter blues, consider incorporating accessories and fabrics in a dark navy blue into your dark winter colour palette. If you have lighter shades of green throughout your home, look at adding hints of a dark, rich hunter or emerald green.

Dark jewel tone colours are rich in depth and can instantly transform the feel of a room to that of warmth. Using your existing home colour palette makes the transition easy. By mixing in shades of white and warmer plush textures, you can balance these rich colours and keep them from appearing too dark.

Velvet and chenille pillows are a great way to bump up the warmth and coziness in a deep winter colour palette. A fun pattern like this leopard print velvet pillow can help balance darker jewel tone colours and brighten up dark winter days.

Other accessories that can help you work in darker versions of your existing home colours include candles, decorative bowls, and small benches or stools. A garden stool in a darker jewel tone can add both colour and function as a small side table next to a chair or sofa.

WINTER HOLIDAY COLOUR

When we think of winter, we can't help but think of the holidays. It's fun to dream of the upcoming holiday festivities, but there is also preparation and holiday decorating to consider. Double your decorating efforts as the weather turns colder by working in touches of the same colours you will be using for holiday decorating.

This bright winter palette marries well with neutral tones. Neutral greys can help calm festive colours, like traditional Christmas reds and greens, once the holidays are over.

Succulent plants are trendy for a reason. With juicy leaves, stems, or roots, succulents form a vast and diverse group of plants, offering easy-care choices for your home. Plus, they look stunning planted alone or as companions.

The color variation of succulents seems almost endless: blue-green, chartreuse, pink, red, yellow, white, burgundy, almost black, variegated, and more. The leaves may be rounded, needlelike, berrylike, ruffled, or spiky. Many have an enticing "touch-me" quality -- even cacti.

These top 9 succulent plants for the home are easy to find and care for

Burro's Tail (Sedum morganianum)

Burro's tail is shown to its best advantage planted in a hanging basket. Overlapping, gray-green or gray-blue leaves grow up to 3 feet long. A native of Mexico, it prefers medium to high light for best performance.

Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera x buckleyi)

To grow, allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Keep it drier in the winter. When the plant is in bud, pay close attention, because even slight dehydration or overwatering may cause buds to drop. Provide medium to high light, and fertilize three times in summer using a 10-30-10 fertilizer to promote blooms.

Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii)

A popular import from Madagascar, crown of thorns can bloom year-round if given enough light. Long, spoon-shape leaves appear at the ends of spiky branches, along with clusters of tiny flowers. You might not notice the flowers because they're so small, but you will see the red, salmon, or yellow bracts that surround them.

Hens-and-Chicks (Sempervivum tectorum or Echeveria elegans)

Two succulent plants share the common name of hens-and-chicks. They're closely related but look different. Both produce "chicks" -- small, identical plants that are slightly offset from the mother (the hen).

Echeveria elegans forms flat, flowerlike rosettes with rounded edges. Sempervivum tectorum also forms in rosettes, but each leaf tends to be flatter and more pointed. The flowering patterns are different. Echeveria grows arching, smooth, bell-shape blooms every year. Individual Sempervivum grows pink star-shape flowers on plants that die after flowering. Usually by this time the plant has produced so many offsets that the loss is not great. After all, the Latin translation of sempervivum means "ever living."

Jade Plant (Crassula ovata)

The jade plant is an old-fashioned favorite for a reason: It's so easy to grow! This long-lived South African native grows thick stems and thick, glossy green leaves tinged with red.

Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Although some gardeners water jade only when the leaves begin to pucker or lose their shine, these are signs the plant is already stressed, so it may begin to drop leaves. Jades are most commonly killed by overwatering. A plant may adopt a weeping form if chronically overwatered.

Medicine Plant (Aloe vera)

The healing sap of this familiar medicinal plant has been used for centuries to treat wounds and sunburn. However, the sharp "teeth" along the leaf margins can cut an unsuspecting passerby, so place it where it can't be brushed accidentally.

Pincushion Cactus (Mammillaria)

Pincushions form a group of about 200 species of ball-shape cacti that are among the most common cacti grown in the home. Most hail from Mexico, where they grow in full sun. Pincushion cacti can remain small and may take the form of single balls or clumps, often flowering indoors.

Be careful: The spines look delicate but have hooked ends that are difficult to pull out of skin.

Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)

Ponytail palms are not palm trees at all, but their feathery mops of green leaves atop a leathery-looking trunk resemble them. The ponytail palm doesn't look like a succulent, even though it is related to the agave plant. Its water-storage unit is the swollen, bulbous base of the trunk that gives the plant its other common name: elephant foot.

Long, sometimes curly, straplike leaves have very little surface to lose moisture, a boon in its native areas in the southwestern United States and Mexico.

THE TABLE MATS

Once there were enough diyas all along the length of the table I started adding the flowers. Last year, at our Diwali party, I had used marigold and done the arrangement in red and orange. So this year I decided not to use any marigold for a change. What also pushed me in this direction was this beautiful garland of silk roses I found online recently.

Till a while back, I used to be very snooty about using fake flowers. This changed when I started working. It would often happen that we plan a last minute get together, and I didn’t have time to go and get flowers. I have sometimes even substituted little plants for flowers. But I did miss the colour that only flowers can add.

It also helps if you’re having a big get together and you have a hundred things to do. You can set up the table in the afternoon or early evening and then get into the kitchen, without having to worry about the flowers wilting, or having to lay the table last minute.

So I lay down the garland along the runner winding it around the various candles in the form of an ‘S’. Then I took a bunch of loose silk roses and scattered them around any vacant spaces. I also let them fall over on either side of the runner.

So this Diwali, try out a pretty tablescape. Take out your Diwali (or even Christmas!) goodies which you stash away every year and see what you can put together. And then share your best ideas with us in the comments below. Would love to know what you used and how!

Have a fun filled and friend filled, Happy Diwali!
