Cranberries and Blueberries: Food Inspired Decor

Inspiration can come from anywhere. A movie, a song, a vacation overseas, a visit to a friend’s house or even an amazing meal; you can find ideas from any nook and cranny of your life. And when it comes to interior design, color palettes and ways to decor your new apartment, dorm room or refinished kitchen you’ll need lots of time to create a vision. Today, we’re using blueberries and cranberries as our inspiration. The shapes, the shades and the combination can all make for lots of fun, food inspired decor ideas.

A rich cranberry may be the perfect color to adorn a room that you want to have a cozy, nestled feeling. In the kitchen, pair this smooth tone with some farmhouse vibes for a down-home, yet stylish and organized, look.

2.  Summer Art.

It could be a DIY piece or a thrifted framed photo found at your favorite hideaway store, summer fruits can be a great seasonal accent. You can make it as subtle or as vibrant as you’d like while still adding interest and personality to your space.

3. Contemporary Coated.

A blueberry shade is so full of life when used as accents that it’s hard to remember what the color can do on it’s own. Coating a room in this almost navy tone is a quick way to create drama and a bold contemporary style.

4. Nautically Made.

Even though these colors battle each other when paired, if used in the right ways, in the right rooms and in the right amounts, they create an eclectic atmosphere fit for a studio apartment or recently revived cottage.

Bits and pieces cranberries can also be a great way to bring life and vibrancy to a lighter, brighter room. In a bowl or in a vase, cranberries can act both color accents and textured pieces.
