Decorating with Primary Colors

I'm working on a project right now that is inspired by the colors in the south of France.

I keep coming back to the basics of the primary colors red, yellow, and blue.

I love how versatile these colors can be depending on how you control their doses.

Lots of pretty examples below of how the primary colors can be used:

fresh and modern

Playful and fun from Lonny

serene and sophisticated

crisp and clean

cluttered perfection

Bright and cheerful from Lonny

cool and eclectic from Lonny

vintage cool, with an earthy vibe by Emily Henderson

bold and beautiful by Erinn Valencich (notice how the use of white balances all the pattern)

Lonny, lots to love

The new issue of Lonny is in and this one might be the best (and most colorful) yet. 

See for yourself here, and just in case you are wondering, 

here are few inspiring images that caught my eye:
