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.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
