Candy-Coated Inspiration

What could be sweeter than candy-colored inspiration? It’s one of the not-so-ordinary places that you can find fun colors to play with. Everyone loves candy, and it reminds us all that we still are just kids at heart.

Sugar-filled pops of color inspire a fun and imaginative nursery palette. Mixed-up colors make up the perfect childhood story.

Confetti-topped cupcakes in soft muted colors are like icing to room decor—a sweet reminder that the simple things in life are often the best.

    Candy colors mean fun and cheerful, and that’s why kids cannot resist them. When it comes to candy color combinations, I prefer pastel or light-colored ones.

    Same here, Florence. When it comes to candy colors, I love the pastels. The light blues, light pinks, light yellows, light greens, light peaches, light lavenders, all remind of iced Easter eggs!
