Guest Post: Erin of Design for Mankind

If there's one thing dear Ez has taught me throughout her years at Creature Comfort, it's the power of color. Unexpected color palettes should be celebrated and experimented with to create fun, playful environments. So, in honor of dear Ez and her love for color, I'll be sharing a few of my favorite colors (and corresponding products, of course!) that can be mixed and matched in all sorts of ways to inspire your life --- and home! Enjoy!

Great color schemes, Erin! I'm looking to add a punch of color to my space and wanted to find a color that I could incorporate my turqouise and grey hues with. Orange will look great!

Awesome! I love these unexpected color combos and all of the wonderful products to go with! That barn light is calling to me & I SO need that receipt catcher! :) Wonderful Erin!

These are great color combos -- not sure I would have put some of them together otherwise, but they all work! My favorite combo is "in the closet" -- going to search for some of those colors in mine today!
