We love color. And we love this home office idea that incorporates lots of color into mama’s work space without going overboard—and without painting! This white room is vibrant with lots of bright, colorful accessories placed throughout the space. This is just one of many inspiring home office ideas from BHG.com.

A hopscotch floor decal?! Oh yeah! Home Made Lovely featured a house tour of Out of Alabaster blogger Lindsey’s home and the white hopscotch decal in the hallway made our jaws drop. Why didn’t we think of that? Get your very own Hopscotch Decal ($61) at yoox.com.

Home organization can sometimes seem like an impossible task—but Kristen of Peace, Love & Crafts makes it look easy. Armed with a few inexpensive canvas bins from Ikea and some felt, Kristen created these custom, labeled bins to keep all of her necessities organized.

Add some pop to your light switches and outlet covers! We’re indulging our chevron obsession once again with this Rainbow Chevron Switch Plate and Outlet Cover Set ($13) we found on Etsy.

Magazine covers are a great—and super inexpensive— way to add some life to your walls. Some people choose to frame their favorite covers but we’re loving this DIY magazine display idea by Stefanie of Ohhh… Mhhh… (found via Creature Comforts) using wire hangers.
