OPEN LIVING WITH DISTINCT COLOR VIEWS – ACCENT WALLS

January 6, 2014
  • Share
Modern open kitchen, living room and dining room with black Barcelona chairs

Nice modern living room – with an organized open floor plan. From one angle it is stark white with white epoxy painted concrete floors, white walls and white cabinetry in the kitchen. A few black and color accents in the furnishings. Flip around in the room and all of sudden – COLOR!

Bright sunny accent walls are carefully planned out to create a modern sleek colorful home.

Could you live with a few bright yellow accent walls?  If not, what color accent walls might you chose or do you already have in your house?

Happy Monday!

P.S. Speaking of yellow. Date night with TE had a little lemon yellow infused into it. Had a nice lemonade cocktail at the Hungry Cat in Santa Monica on Saturday night…right before going to a very lovely dinner with TE at the very chic and cozy Giorgio Baldi restaurant on West Channel Road. Nice evening really. Here is a scene from the Hungry Cat bar.

P.P.S.  Highlight of weekend was a fantastic dinner with my cute mother and my fantastic aunts LA, MA, JG and my guy TE at the Soho House on Friday night.  It took a bit to get all of the aunts coordinated to meet up, but we did it! LA and MA are visiting from out of town (Boston and France respectively) so it was their send off dinner before they head back. Had a lovely night filled with laughter, good food and good company.  All of my mom’s sisters approved of TE!  That is good news!

P.P.P.S.  Hope you have a great week ahead!

    For me, a bright yellow accent wall is a bit too harsh for the wall with the TV on it. The foyer floating wall in the same hue, though, is a great idea!

    I don’t think I could have a bright yellow accent wall. I think I’d opt for a bright pink accent wall instead.

A blank wall isn’t neutral, it’s a missed opportunity. The right piece doesn’t just fill space, it gives a whole room a reason to exist.

The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.

Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖
