I know it’s not incredibly summery, but I am currently loving these elegant combinations of rose gold and gray.  There’s something about these chalkboard textures brightened up with pops of metallic that just speaks to me.  The key here is to keep it clean, don’t layer too many patterns or textures, remember: matte is where it’s at.  And on the gold accents, keep those simple, we’re not talking ornate or baroque, but clean and modern.  Don’t underestimate the simplicity, it’s amazing what a set of charcoal or rattan placemats set with simple gold chargers (like these ones from Z Gallerie) can to for your tablescape.  It’s a really different and elegant solution for summer entertaining (for the finishing touch, try a single white orchid or a few white gladiola stems, as a more affordable option).

And don’t forget, this time of year is perfect for rebranding!  Want to see how your own favorite color and texture combination can be combined into a digital space?  Head over to our Services page for more information on custom blog design, logo design and custom website design by your favorite blog designer, Little Blue Deer!
