Living Room: Blue, Green,or in Between?

Written by 4 Comments

When selecting a colorful change for the living room, do you lean towards blues or  greens?  A tranquil interpretation of green with white has always been a fool proof color scheme.

Re-painting the piano to a colorful hue to match the shelves  is a great idea to boost the bohemian spirit in this apartment featured in Contemporist designed by Incorporated Architecture and Design in New York.

This Victorian  house, interior wall in teal green,  is owned by Sam Roddick, daughter of  Anita Roddick, Body Shop. My favorite is the industrial lamps illuminating the space.

Monochromatic blues tend to be more formal and masculine.

A fresh palette of green and white keeps it contemporary .
I still have a hangover from seeing that painted piano.  

XOXO,

    I think I prefer greens. Blue is a pretty color, but too much doesn't feel restful to me.

    I like the white work/office space. If I could, my entire home would be white... even the furniture :)

    I think at the moment we have both colours throughout our home. Our walls and almost everything else is white so I add different colour accents all the time :)
