DESCRIPTION: I drew the inspiration for the main living areas of this residence from the bright aqua and yellow colors of the golden butterfly fish. I wanted to create a space that was modern and sleek while still feeling welcoming and comfortable. A strong accent wall is created by surrounding the fireplace by bold blue paint and sea-glass tile in the living room. In the kitchen, I used the same blue sea-glass as a backsplash and painted the island cabinets blue. These bold blues serve as a visual cap to the space by drawing your eye to the views of the backyard and the fireplace in the living room and to the gorgeous kitchen on the opposite side. In the dining room area, painted yellow chairs bring another large pop of color to the space and provide a visual break to the blue kitchen and living room. I used gray tones primarily on the main walls, sofa, area rug and tall wall cabinets. I also incorporated white for the wall cabinets, coffee table, door, trim and crown molding. By using gray and white on most of the large surfaces the bold accent colors are balanced to assure that they don’t overpower the space. The addition of yellow accent pillows, hanging pendant lights and yellow and blue paintings tie the room together.
