DESIGN IDEA: WHITE WALLS, BLUE FLOOR – LIVING ROOM COLOR!

May 5, 2010

White living room with a bright blue floor
Photo: Scott Frances

I was going to save this photo for the weekend but I get impatient with images I really like! Not to mention, I have no resolve these days. I say I’m going to deprive myself of something or not do something and within minutes I’m doing exactly what I said I wouldn’t do….help?

Okay…I think this is a great design idea for those of us who have a fear to adding bold color to walls…leave the walls white and add color to the floor!

I think this is a polished concrete floor in blue (although it could be a tile of some sort too) in this fab living room. Love this look. Crisp clean white walls and a captivating pop of color on the floor. The same effect could be achieved with a large rug. I like the fact that the floor is pretty much monochromatic…with just a bit of shading here and there.

This space feels fresh and open and reminds me of being at the beach or out sailing. Summer….

Love this look.

What do you think?

xoxo
Coco

P.S. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

    whoa…it’s almost kinda trippy!

    I especially love the fact that it has a shine to it…almost like water.

    I love it too, though…..I might have added another pillow to the sofa in a similar color, and even painted the ceiling a lighter shade of it to wrap the color around the room for balance. But, besides that, I think it’s sharp.

Oak, travertine, and brass carry through every roo Oak, travertine, and brass carry through every room of the Grove Townhouse by Bunsa Studio. Paneled oak built-ins frame the living room, herringbone floors run into a kitchen with a marble backsplash and caned counter stools, and the terrace kitchen pairs a fluted island with terracotta tile. In the primary bath, a skylight opens over a travertine shower with twin brass rain heads, while a sculptural marble sink anchors the powder room and a paper lantern softens the kids’ room.

From an empty room to a cozy, layered living spaceFrom an empty room to a cozy, layered living space. 🤎
A little vision, a few thoughtful design choices, and the right textiles can completely change the feel of a room.
For this living room concept, we brought in the COCOCOZY Kip Rug to anchor the space and the COCOCOZY Quatrefoil Linen Pillows to add pattern, texture, and a touch of timeless charm.
We love how the warm caramel sofa, olive green accents, natural wood, and brass details come together to create a space that feels both inviting and elevated.
This is a room concept, imagined to showcase how COCOCOZY textiles and details can transform a space.
What do you think of the transformation? Would you live here? 🤎

A country contemporary farmhouse in Lincoln, MA, f A country contemporary farmhouse in Lincoln, MA, full of antiques, pattern, and natural texture. 🏡
A plaster chimney rises into the vaulted living room above a reclaimed-wood mantel. Lantern pendants and copper pots set the tone in the kitchen. The powder room goes all in on floral wallpaper and a gilt mirror. Grasscloth walls wrap a guest room with a built-in reading nook, and the bunk room is all sage beadboard and gingham. Old pieces and clean architecture work together, so the house feels collected, not decorated.

I’ve never worn a super bright red dress before. NI’ve never worn a super bright red dress before. Never mind one with the entire back out! ❤️
But something shifted for me over the last year. I let go of people, expectations, and ideas that no longer served me. And I made a decision. I’m not making myself smaller to make anyone else comfortable.
So when the fabulous @clairesulmers invited me to the first @fashionbombdaily Bomb Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I decided to show up a little differently!
Enter this fire red Jacquemus dress. 🔥
My cousin Cala and I had the BEST time. So much beautiful fashion, incredible emerging design talent, and amazing energy in one room. Congratulations to Claire and her entire team for bringing this fabulous event to LA! And kudos to @cadillac for supporting the show.
Who knew a dress could say so much without saying a word?
Here’s to being bold, daring, unapologetic, and still finding joy in every moment.
Wear the dress. Take up space. Live loud. We only get one life! ❤️
