Turquoise Bliss

Okay this is officially pastel week at theLENNOXX. Take a look at this yummy turquoise, white and black living room:

According to Supreme designer Dianne Ross where I discovered this little gem, the wallpaper was once available at York Wallcoverings. I scoured their wallpapers (twice might I add) and could only find other color alternatives.

Benjamin Moore Cool Aqua looks to be a good paint alternative. I have a suspicion this color would look way dark in an ill lit room, but super fab in a room with as much daylight as this one. If you remember this post where I wrote about the importance of white in the blue/yellow relationship, I will argue that this also holds for turquoise. Have you ever noticed that a turquoise room looks either super fantastic or simply horrifying? The latter is always due to the lack of white (in my opinion)! If you don’t believe me, google “turquoise room”! And if you disagree, don’t be afraid to set me straight ;)

Hot Shot: Pastel Living room

August 3, 2010 in Chic, Living room, Pastels, White

For the longest time I’ve been obsessed with neutral colors like beige (especially beige) and now I just crave bright colors. So expect some colorful interiors on here in the near future ;)

This living room by Horchow totally satisfies my craving (for a short wile). I could do without he bulky leather sofa, but the powder blue color is gorgeous, especially combined with the mint green coffee table and old pink lamp. You did notice the fabulous wall detail, right? What about the subtle zebra print rug?

Chic White, Turquoise and Cerise Living room

June 28, 2010 in Chic, Hottest Designers, Living room, Modern, Pastels, Soft and Light, White

This chic living room is the work of the incredibly talented interior designer Ashley Whittaker:

This white living room is accented with turquoise and cerise, and totally reminds me of Dagny of Scandinavian Chic‘s living room (and blog design for that matter). I love how Ashley picked a very soft turquoise hue for the shelf and made it all pop with the cerise and contrasting black. Also, I’m loving the natural accents she placed in the shelf like crystals, seashells and corals.

We don’t get to see all the pretty colors from this angle, which almost makes it look like a different room. Of all things I’m loving the gold lamp cord.. haha! It looks so strict and clean. Also, notice the beautiful Greek key lining on the sofa skirt.

Ashley is not afraid to mix metals, as seen here with the silver tray. LOVE the purple peony bouquet, my favorite flower (which I can finally remember the name of  =)
