Color is injected into this white room through a turquoise feature wall. The accent colors are all found in the bedding of the crib, tying the room together. Personalized name art on the wall has been very popular in nurseries for some time now.

*

According to Little Crown Interiors‘ website the artwork above the change table is the DNA footprint of the parents. Absolutely a very personal touch, I love it!

*

A lot of companies specialize in transforming your personal genome into art, this particular one is produced by British company DNA Art. What do you think, would you display your genetic code on the wall?

Beautiful living room with a color palette of foggy light blue and creamy beige.  The scale and proportions in this room is great (pun not intended actually). Look at how tiny the coffee table comes out next to the tall furniture and high ceiling. Mounting straight curtains directly under the seiling helps too. These winged chairs suits my recent chair-upholstered-with-beautiful-pattern obsession perfectly! Do you think a TV screen is hiding in that cabinet? That would explain the size and placement.

*

The front of the chair is beige with deep buttoning, and the ceiling is the same color as the walls.

*

The built in shelves on each side of the fireplace are painted blue inside to make them more a part of the wall. Check out the mirrored front.

*

The soft feminine lines definitely gives this tiny work station a  “wow factor”.

*

And this dining room, with its blue walls and carpets, takes a dramatic turn with a rich brown (or is it green?) ceiling. This is one of my favorite color combos; Light blue, creams and green. Just like my living room! And don’t get me started on the dining chairs.. Nail head trim AND door knocker detail? Perfect!

*

I couldn’t resist featuring this cute nursery. Blue walls with old pink decor. Perfect for boy or girl!

*

And I wish we could see more of this super fresh bedroom. The reigning color of the year, turquoise always looks crispy clean when combined with white.

*

And since there are no other views of this room, we’ll zoom in on the details instead! Notice how many (barely) different shades of turquoise they fitted in here. And the inverted pattern color on the chair (right) is a great touch.

*

*

Calm green bedroom with light green walls with brown and cream accents. Also, all trim and window frames are painted a demure blue. If this was my bedroom, I would paint the ceiling, I have a personal war going on with bare wood surfaces.

The same bedroom viewed from the bed. To the left is a “sunrise room”, separated by a wall with an open fireplace and a flat screen TV. To the right is the master bathroom, with blue sliding doors to the tub. You don’t of cause need to climb through the tub to get to the bathroom, there is a normal entry on the side.

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Svelte Sage.

*

The color scheme is the same in the master bathroom, but with less brown for a lighter cleaner look.

*

One thing I noticed in this house is the extensive use of tiles. In this kitchen for example, the whole wall behind the stove is covered in tiles. This kitchen is in open plan solution with the living area though, so I guess it is a nice way of defining the kitchen area.  What do You think?

(view 360 degrees)

*

And with that I had to cover this beautiful “casita” (as they call it), a tiny bedroom with a built in bathroom (see below). I was really surprised they made a feature wall of tiles behind the bed…

(view 360 degrees)

*

But it makes more sense when you see the bathroom placement. I would love to have a guest suite like this to offer my visitors, but personally I prefer a bit more privacy in the bathroom, lol!

The wall color is Sherwin-Williams Foxy.

*

There is just something about the color scheme in this home office that really speaks to me. I’m usually not into these muddy olive greens, but the pops of blue and red really freshens it up. Do you like it?

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Sycamore Tan.

*

This second bedroom is lilac with whites and creams. Two single four poster beds invites guests to a cozy sleepover.

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Ash Violet.

*

I love this detail shot. The chair is to die for, and the framed wall sconces are a great touch.

(view 360 degrees)

*

Which kid wouldn’t love this colorful bedroom with a Toy Story and Cowboy theme?

*

Turquoise and orange is a fresh color combination, but these both have black in them, which tones the colors down a lot.

The wall color is Sherwin-Williams Reflecting Pool.

*

Behind this wall is a bathroom shared between this room and the lilac guest bedroom.

So what do you think, is this your dream home? Are you entering the sweepstakes?

Lets check out some of their colorful furniture:

*

Bright turquoise walls with beige and yellow. This surf chic living room is all about happy colors.

*

That shade of turquoise is a bit on the bright side for me, but I love how it is repeated throughout the accents. And btw I am strangely attracted to the sofa fabric.. so pretty!

*

Now this is a cute dining area! The beige, turquoise and yellow work perfectly together.

*

Purple side table with orange fishes.  Almost like a built-in vignette. No worries about decorating that table top!

*

This must be the most crazy color combo yet. I feel like a cartoon character just by looking at it! I would think any weather would be gray when you walk out of this entryway.

*

This lavender blue, turquoise and green nursery is the cutest! The wave detail on the crib is my favorite part.

*

More waves in this bedroom. I see 6 fishes.

*

Orange and pink is one of my favorite color combos. Perfect for a little girls room.

*

She has such a classic and elegant bedroom. This is the style you find in big mansions, and I absolutely love how it is downsized and simplified for a perfect apartment version.

*

The classic crystal chandelier is the focal point of the room. To maximize the height of the room, the beautiful seafoam green wall color goes all the way up to the ceiling, as well as the curtain valances.

*

A classic area rug frames the bed on beautiful dark hardwood floors. Oh, and the silver candle stick triplet over the bed is one of my favorite features.

*

Fantastic! Wish my bedroom looked like this!

Serene master bedroom with pearl gray walls and sky blue ceiling.

*

The carpet is divine!

*

This bed looks pretty wide, it even has three rows of pillows. The turquoise padded headboard is nice, I wonder if that is doable for the non-professional upholsterer?

*

The antique looking desk is blue with gold details. So pretty.

*

The pearl gray velvet divan fits in perfectly with its light blue frame.

*

The bedroom is completed with a silver framed bar cart.

*

The thing that really strikes me with this room is the surprising mix of classic beauty with 70’s crazyness!

*

Take this detail image of the bed for example. The canopy is a classic, while the aqua thread wallpaper is flat out retro.

*

My parents used to have the exact same wallpaper, and my cat used it as a scratch board… Blue threads were sticking out all over, lol!

*

Blue and yellow window seat in the same bedroom. White valances for pretty, gray blinds for effect!

*

Colorful floral wallpaper adorns this mini bathroom.

Turquoise  and chocolate brown living room. When you have a large feature that you want to stand out, like the huge silver mirror, you can “frame” it by opting for one chandelier on each side, instead of one in front. The gold ceiling is beautiful and functional as it reflects the light from the pair of lanterns. I am absolutely in love with the chocolate colored sofa.

*

The second living room is a deep purple color, accented with various shades of blues and aubergine. The area rug is hot!

*

This turquoise and white kitchen is amazing! I love the seating area furniture!

*

The bedroom walls and ceiling is completely covered in a patterned silver and white wall covering. The result is amazing, as the light is reflected everywhere, washing out all boundaries. It’s like a red bed in a cloud, lol!

This neutral gray and white living room has a rainbow of colors added through accents like throw pillows and carpet. See even the colorful vase collection on the mantel.

*

Super colorful bedroom.
