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.

Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. It’s a porch swing at golden hour, sunlight across a marble floor, a dining room you’d actually want to linger in.
A look inside a home that’s elevated without ever feeling off-limits: brass-detailed kitchen, a glass-walled lounge, and a lacquered dining room with a wine wall.

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actu Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actual work.
Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.
Which one would you live with every day? Drop your answer 👇
