Color
Very smart. There are a lot of savvy design solutions that have been brought together to transform this small afterthought room into a terrific living space: a meticulously-curated color, materials, and pattern combination, including the supercool golden bug forest wallpaper, as well as the outsized work that modest overhead floating floof lamp does to add gentle depth in here.
Svensk Bourgeois features a lot of wall moulding framing white and very pale pastel walls; black interior doors, kitchen cabinets (IKEA Kungsbacka), and wardrobes with warm gold, copper, or leather hardware. In Sweden, if the wood floors are on their last legs, they paint them white. In bourgeois homes, the floors are wood herringbone. Kitchen chairs are painted black, with cane bottoms. In general, chairs have some kind of woven bottom (eg. seat belt) or back. Check out Henrik Nero's work for the aesthetic range.
"Millennial Pink." Pairs nicely with mustard, white, maroon, and copper accents. Another option to complement pink is brass, rust, orange and peach accents, with a dark sage green mass. A stormy dark blue can be added as an accent or can substitute for the dark sage green. It's possible to substitute in royal blue accents if you keep the green. Behr Vienna Lace PPU17-7 is a lovely Scando-pale gray pink in satin for walls, and in gloss for the moulding.
My kind of (Hawaiian) flamboyancy. It's all about the luxe chair upholstery.
half pale mauve furniture. half natural, with white walls. Needs better accent pillows...cordovan color?
pale blue, yellow and white, with wood
This is a stainless steel vent hood painted with Rust-Oleum gold. The wall has Shibori Japanese wall stenciling, from Royal Design Studio Stencils.
Honey stain wood millwork w/ cream walls (BM Spring 1500, looks like SW Paperwhite), oriental red & gold/brass accents + faded bottle green accent chairs.
These people kept the old wood trim and added white walls and caramel, iron, and indigo blue accents.
With rich dark green, use brass, black, white pattern, and Panam airline blue.
(Farrow & Ball Vardo?) muted peacock, with chalky black, pale gray-green, light wood, ivory. Note deep green bottles, brass, green ikat, and mirroring accents. Note mirror behind shelves. Wonderful room.
Not on target, but offers inspiration: light gray-green with gray, & with silver, yellow-stained wood, and black accents.
Farrow & Ball's Great White
See, creamy SW Paperwhite isn't so bad.
Relax about not achieving that perfect Euro-white on the walls. Wood accents and good, light cadmium red art (or oriental rug) can elevate an off-white room to make it look an intentional aesthetic.
Great White, Farrow & Ball
BM White Dove
Lower cabinets: Black Blue by Farrow & Ball
BM Plaster of Paris
yellow swivel Metropolitan chairs in a neutral room
Natural shades + blue & light cadmium red accents.
The color palette is genius here. I like the moulding-structured lacquered powder blue wall with the yellow hues down low. The citrus color in the painting pulls it all together.
light yellow redeemed w/patterned turquoise, white, orange & red accents.
White Dove (BM)
SW Reynard orange (front vestibule). Beautiful lamp.
super cute solution to too much white
If you're going to use sage green, use navy with it? I'm asking because I'm not convinced. It's middle-class sufficient.
Wool Skein (SW 6148). Complemented here with dark brown
Flyaway 6794 by Sherwin-Williams
Hale Navy HC-154 by Benjamin Moore
Antique White 6119 by Sherwin-Williams
creamy white: Here Dover White 6385 by Sherwin-Williams. In our s. bedroom creamy SW 7105 Paperwhite in satin is luminous and cozy, perfect with white trim and with navy. Paperwhite is a bit more yellow, Dover white a bit more brown.
white, red wood, charcoal gray upholstery, with orange accent wall. This would be great as well with dark navy substituted for gray.
citron, palest gray & cream
textile & accessories color, pattern & texture layers are rich in this plain, big white room
Oh celadon with white, black, brass and persimmon accents, I love you so.
Right balance of gloss green, wood & big-window light makes a very evocative, captain's cabin living space.
pale celadon w/cream & sheer mauve
milk white (BM Ivory white 925) kitchen looks good with deep red wood & sea green tiles. I would have made the 4 overhanging cabinets at the back of the room deep (red) wood for more visual gratification. BM 925 is less orange than SW Paperwhite.
pale blue w/deep red, brown, ocean blue and cream accents
Gorgeous. Gorgeous spring green Gracie wallpaper, graceful proportions (w/slender curving brass rail), light. Color palette: spring green & deep-red wood doors, w/brown wood & leather, white trim & brass accents. Clever japonesey brass hall lamp.
Wonderful room, but no pre-lotto lessons to be learned here except: mahogany, white, & faded sea green color combo.
mahogany color block + cream & gold (or golden lighting). Delicate navy, pale blue & orange accents.
bam!
Very pretty bohemian: Yellow walls and white trim look great with airy green floral curtains (which I particularly like), red china accent.
Sense of color & materials is brilliant. Blue china and black lamps are gorgeous together here. Note bright persimmon pillows and aqua elephant painting in contrast to earthy colors & materials, including brown indian blanket, wooden bedtables, raw wood beams, red wood dressers, white plaster walls.
