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.

This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millo This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millory @felixmillory , is defined by two things: a tightly controlled material palette and a sculptural art collection that runs through every room without exception.
Travertine frames every doorway. Dark smoked oak covers the joinery and cabinetry. Grey marble runs across the kitchen counters and island. Within that framework, figurative sculptures on the shelves, a large totemic piece at the entrance, stone forms on the dining table, a large-format artwork in the kitchen. Every room has at least one object that demands your attention. 🗿
→ Save this if you’re designing around a sculpture collection.
