Toby-inspired colour palette

When I was looking at our foster puppy Toby a couple of days ago, it occurred to me that he’s a great interior design colour palette of cream, beige, brown, black, and blue.

And it looks like a lot of designers think so too! Here are some rooms that could have been inspired by Toby…

Colour inspiration can come from the most unexpected places! Where do you find your colour inspiration?

Happy weekend!

  1. If you keep to a dog fur inspired palette then it would do a great camoflage job !! Pet hair would not be noticed with any luck !!

    1. Good point, Kate :-) Too bad I listened to the designer who told me to put a cream sofa & chairs in my living room with a black lab running around the house!

  2. It goes to show that we can always rely on Nature to give us pleasing palettes. Beautiful photos. Beautiful dog. Thanks.

  4. I always match my pets to my room decor...less fur shows that way..ha ha! The funny thing is that first picture is one I've used for a client. Maybe she wants a new puppy! ;-)

    1. Too bad Toby isn't as calm and soothing as these rooms! ;-) The little guy is an absolute whirlwind! But very sweet and lovable :-)

  6. This is so cute! Maybe you could use a little Toby inspiration somewhere in your home?! Now I'm off to read about your newest addition to the family :)

  7. What a beautiful dog (complete with David Bowie eyes!) and what perfect interior matches you have found - brilliant!
    Funnily enough I was curing salmon in beetroot juice and vodka yesterday and the pearlescent scales on the salmon's skin took up the beetroot juice and the colour was sensational. I took pics as I was going to blog about it :)
