A SUNNY SUN PORCH IN BLACK & WHITE WITH A LITTLE RED!

Black and white sun room by Kelley Proxmire with striped floor, beadboard ceiling, white drapes with black trim, white walls, black wicker armchairs and sofa and red accent pillows

It has been raining quite a bit in L.A. lately. Today it is gorgeous though! Just in case more rain is in the forecast, thought I would post a picture of a bright and cheery sun porch in hopes of channeling all things sun.

I like this room by Washington D.C. area interior designer Kelley Proxmire. I am not usually into anything that is just black and white…but for some reason this space works.

Love the striped black and white floor, the white drapes trimmed in black, the beadboard ceiling, the bright white walls, and the fun selection of accent pillows with different black and white geometric and graphic patterns. Oh, did I mention the pops of red here and there!

Happy Sunday!!

    Great picture! I’m dying for some sunshine…so so over the rain! It doesn’t feel like LA right now.

    This is very unique because you often find very natural colors used in porch or partly outdoor spaces. I have seen many with the brown and green theme or possibly a sand and blue color palette. These strong colors and lines are very unusual and beg you to take a second look.

    Oh. my. goodness. How gorgeous. I rarely pull off pics from posts that have to go into my inspiration folder, but I pulled this one! It’s to die for!

    Love this porch. And love Kelley Proxmire. And love L.A. If Chicago doesn’t start cooperating pretty soon here I might just have to fly out there.

    this is a super stunning room can’t believe that using stairs to setup a complete room will look so alluring, and its a 100% unique article for me.

This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
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. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

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!😀
