One of my favorite color combinations, the aqua and chartreuse pop against clean white. Notice how the shades create a casual contrast with the tailored window dressings, how the modern lucite table adds a special lightness to the room, and how the little pops of aqua and chartreuse repeated in the accessories really keep your eye moving (the plants, aqua candlesticks, the lamp base, and even the artwork) while still creating a cohesive color scheme.
The current color of the moment - yellow! - with black and white. Simple, sophisticated, yet sunny and welcoming. While I might have made some different decisions, like a more modern yellow fabric for the chair pillows, a cute little vintage glass chandelier, and definitely a different print for the wall, the basic elements in this room are fantastic, and the drapery is absolutely stunning.
This one is my absolute favorite. The comfortable indoor/outdoor space again has a sophistication not usually found in these more casual areas. I love how the black trim on the curtains and walls frames the whole porch, and is mimicked in the strong lines of the lantern and pillows. The pops of red are just enough color to complete the look. Remember, a little red goes a long way when decorating. Use it purposefully for the greatest impact.
I never knew black walls could work so well with a beach theme! The coral above the fireplace is picked up in the pillows on bed and chairs featuring seashells (I know, it's hard to see). The heavy drapes around the bed and lighting inside topped of by a bold mirror make the bed it's own little room. An extremely dramatic take on beach chic!
