COLOR WATCH: TRADITIONAL WITH A TWIST IN THREE BOLDLY BLUE BEDROOMS!

Bethesda, MD based interior design maven Kelley Proxmire has her way with the color blue! Kelley was kind enough to send me photos of three fab rooms she designed for different designer showcase houses – rooms with one thing in common…a royal treatment of all things blue!

These rooms are the ultimate in traditional…not stodgy or sleepy traditional…but refreshing traditional with a wonderful air of wit and whimsy.

The big decor play in all of these rooms is the consistent and unabashed use of the color blue – makes these rooms boldly classic and daringly traditional – rooms that really work!

Bedroom by Kelley Proxmire with a white iron day bed, a blue and white Chinoisserie toile valance canopy with matching bed skirt and tufted ottoman
Bedroom 1: A two sided canopy with a blue and white Chinoisserie toile pattern on the inside hangs from a valance covered crown that is attached to the ceiling…all elegantly enveloping a comfy white iron daybed. (above)

Bedroom by Kelley Proxmire with a white Chinese garden stool and a slipper chair with blue and white Chinoisserie toile upholstery
Bedroom 1: A bright white ceramic garden stool sits in a corner next to a slipper chair that is covered in the same blue and white toile to match the rest of the upholstery and the wall color of the room. (above)

Bedroom #2: Symmetry and style are the design solutions in this blue bedroom with two twin beds balancing out either side of the room. (above)

Blue bedroom by Kelley Proxmire with a vanity with a blue and white gingham skirt, blue and white damask wallpaper, vintage gold wall clock, white vintage mirror and a lucite chair
Bedroom 3: There is no design fear here of mixing bold patterns…a blue and white gingham checkered skirt surrounds a dressing table that sits against a wall with a bold light blue damask patterned wallpaper. Oh…yes…love the little lucite chair with a light blue upholstered seat cushion!(above)

Thank you Kelley and Anne-Marie for sending along these photos! Look forward to more!

    I’m finding white ceilings with colored walls so jarring lately. Especially in rooms one and three, I think the loveliness would be increased exponentially with a ceiling color that either complemented the walls (one) or matched the floor (three). The white just looks so stark and unfinished.

    Oh, man, I really, really love the way pure, intense colors look when accented with whites like that! I did my daughter, Violet’s room in a deep purple that way, with pure whites accenting everywhere, using various textures in the white to break it up a bit. I so much prefer the darker colored walls (like that blue) with more neutral accents! But that’s just me….

I always adore Italian architecture. The estate features stone marble floors, Murano chandeliers, and antique painting. So dreamy! Learn more about Villa Tasca on my blog.
