Living Room

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

May 5, 2010
  • Share

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.

A masterclass in contemporary wedding event designA masterclass in contemporary wedding event design, every detail feels intentional, layered, and deeply personal.
Designed by @bychenai, a prolific and talented London based wedding and events planner, this wedding is a study in thoughtful design and artful creative direction. We say well done Chenai!
Long tables arranged in a maze-like formation created a striking design, while still allowing 350 guests to move throughout the space. A rich brown and gold palette brought warmth and depth, paired with refined tabletops and lush floral centerpieces.
Location: An ornate and iconic room. Painted Hall at Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich England @orncweddings.

Layered textiles, collected pieces, and a little bit of the unexpected create a home that feels personal and lived in.
Which detail would you start with first, the patterns or the palette? 🎨
