Soothing Blues

Anne Coyle designed this beautiful living room with a color palette of cool soothing blues with vibrant pops of pink and coral:

I love a good symmetric layout, and that coffee table is gorgeous!

Side view. Would you use cool colors like this in your home?

The paint color looks like Benjamin Moore Silver Cloud.

The wall opposite of the sofa has a beautiful fireplace and a cozy seating area for two. I have noticed that art pieces like the one above this mantle is often used with light blue color schemes, like in this and this previous post. Coincidence? Light blue does look great combined with metallics.

I do not have access to the exact colors used in each room pictured on this site, but lets try nonetheless! The colors picked out is a happy medium of the colors in each picture, because the lighting and shadows greatly affect the color perception.

So, lets go!
