Hot Shot: Coastal Living room

*

Design by J. Savage Gibson, image via My Home Ideas

Here is a beautiful beige living area accented with blue and green. Notice how the color scheme in this room is built up in three “layers”:

• The Beige works as a warm neutral background.
• Teal is layered on in furniture, area rug and accessories.
• Green is limited to the accents.

Do you see it? The result is a harmonious and pulled together room. Apart from forming a great color relationship with blue, the green adds interest and pulls your eye throughout the room. How about you? Do you think in terms of layering when you decorate?

Beautiful room and great post showing the layering effect. Layering is what makes a room feel finished and special.
