David Kaplan is the designer behind this beautiful home of blues and pinks:

*

This beautiful light blue living room is decorated very subtly paying close attention to pattern, texture and dimension.

*

I think this color palette is absolutely fantastic. The colors really play off of each other. Bright, but toned down.

*

Take a look at the different chairs on this room. Very sculptural.

*

David mixes a lot of metals and metal colors in this room. Just look at the coffee table with the gold picture frames. I really like how he painted the whole mantel the same color as the walls, and used a slightly deeper tone on the molding.

*

The dining area is the same wall color, it might possibly be an open plan solution with the living room. Even the window frames are blue. The black dining table is very visually heavy (and probably physically heavy too), but perfectly balanced out by very light feminine chairs and beautiful flowers and chandelier.

*

In open plan solutions I often notice wall paneling is used to define the living room, like in this one.

*

Beautiful dresser.

*

An accent wall in a stairway. Great idea to add some color and depth!

*

*

Now this is something we haven’t seen much of, dark blue walls. This regal color is in stark contrast to the light colors we are used to see on the walls, and a very welcome change.

*

I love how the lamp-light divides the room into small cozy zones. You wont get that effect with a lighter color wall.

*

LOVE the shiny red vitrine/book shelf/desk (?)!

*

Blue walls, beige carpets and dark wood furniture. Heavy and masculine, with pretty pillows and tulip bouquets.

Lets take a look at some light bright living rooms:

Soft pink, peach and beige. Here is a good balance between pattern and monochromatic, making the room interesting but not intense.

Soft blue, crisp white and a light grey. This classic room is modernized by adding mirror tables. I would never get tables like that, look at all the finger prints…ugh.

Cream and white. Otherwise, the room is nice.
