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 great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
