Orange and Blue Rooms

I am working with a client who wants her living room redone. A major piece of furniture that she wants to keep is a burnt orange sofa that is in excellent condition (I could not find a photo on the web similar to the sofa and the battery for my camera died). I did some research on the web and found these beautiful orange and blue rooms. I love the contrast of these two colors. The blue calms the orange down yet it has a fun, warm, relax feel to it. It reminds me of Summer. I plan to paint the walls light blue and perhaps add a bit of green to the mix. Be sure to check out future posts about the design process.

Fabulous Outdoor Living Inspirations!

Since Summer is quickly approaching, I thought now would be a great time to post some outdoor inspirational photos. I am so ready to sit outdoors and be lazy all day long. Just the thought of sitting outside smelling the bbq, listening to music, and watching my daughter play puts a smile on my face. Enjoy the photos!

My Wallpaper Fetish

I am really stating to obsess over wallpaper. Wallpaper is no longer plain and boring. It’s now an art form. The sophistication it adds to any room is priceless. I especially like when wallpaper is added to one wall to give it texture and of course a focal point. Take a look at some delicious eye candy below…….

While doing a search on Jonathan Adler, I came across these tips that I had to share with my readers…..ENJOY!

Jonathan Adler’s 15 Fabulous Design Tips**

1. Mix and match with panache. Don’t be tentative with patterns. If you keep your color scheme restrained, you can approach patterns with wild abandon.

2. When in doubt, repeat, repeat, repeat your patterns.

3. Don’t fit in. Scale is the most under-considered piece of the decorating puzzle. Put a Gothic throne in a studio apartment.

4. Paint your floors white. You’ll feel carefree.

5. Orange is the poppiest color and the answer to most decorating conundrums. Lacquer your front door orange. Pique your neighbor’s curiosity.

6. Layer, layer, layer. Unexpected touches are the soul of the MAXIMALIST HOME: A painting hung on a bookcase, a chandelier in a closet, a brass lion’s-head door knocker in a modern apartment.

7. If you’re a clean modernist, try white grass-cloth for a little warmth.

8. Chocolate brown and baby blue are perfect together. They’re uptown, they’re downtown, they’re classic and fashion forward.

9. Replace white walls with unexpected neutrals like camel, olive, or baby blue.

10. Put regal furniture in your bathroom.

11. When in doubt, add mirrors for extra glamour, put a piece of mirror on top of a cabinet to make it sparkle or in a niche to create the illusion of depth.

12. Primary colors are happy colors – use them abundantly.

13. Let go of coordinating colors. Colors can’t clash. However, when in doubt - brown is your foundation. Brown with red is innately chic.

14. Go for grandeur with a giant chandelier.

15. Make your own – Personal style means having a space that’s comfy but filled with stuff that has meaning to you. It should hold things created and inspired by passionate people. Personal style should make you happy and happiness is chic.
