I've posted in earliers posts how I would LOVE to open a boutique. While in Europe I've been SECRETLY STALKING the local shops and taking as many photos as I can. Like a sponge I absorb the colors, the racks, the fixtures, the layouts and the exterior design.
I'm really drawn to the bright colored shops - and London DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Want to see what style excites me?
 |
| I love this color, and also how the entrance is recessed. |
 |
| What a great idea to add the black to break up the purple wall. |
 |
| Black and gold looks so LUXE to me...... |
 |
| I know this is a pub, but I like the gold/black combo along with the bright flowers. It looks inviting. |
 |
| Vintage picture frames and the chandelier is a perfect combo. I would do black and white photos in gawdy gold frames. |
 |
| A clever idea to dress up a plain brick front. I would probably have gone with hot pink or black. |
 |
| LOVE. |
 |
| The bright color makes this store stand out from a row of 'blah' |
 |
| Can't miss this one..... |
 |
| Bad signage and the window needs to be dressed up, but the bright color atrracts women shoppers. The white door would look better black (of course, right?) |
 |
| I wonder how hard it would be to add windows. Isn't this great? Its impressive and different. |

Hot pink seems to be THE colour this year. Pretty, although I'd pair it with purple :)
