INTERIORS TO INSPIRE: GLAMOUR IN PASTELS

Hello Lovelies! Julie from Chapman Interiors here bringing you a true Hollywood Glam home today. Designer Jay Jeffers is responsible for the fresh color palette brimming with coral and aqua and unique details that create some real personality in these rooms. Let's check it out!
I am dying over the windows softly traced in that aqua (presumably to call more attention to the fabulous architecture) . The mushroom colored settee is a departure from the expected sofa, giving the light permission to flood right in where a sofa back would usually be cutting it off. Fluffy white pillows reinforce the glow.
There is sparkle everywhere! The tiny mosaic tiles (in the same appropriate aqua!), bubbly mantle piece, benches floating on lucite legs, chrome coffee table base, silver candle sticks in the fireplace... all together these accents shout glitz and glamour (and yet the room seems to seductively whisper, don't you think?).
This chandelier makes me giddy! The delicate vertical elements pair perfectly opposite the glowing glass bubbles reaching for the table. The coral ceiling and wall trim are a great way to introduce color without being forced to paint an entire wall. I think those tulips may have been custom dyed... they're too perfect!
The dining table being set at an unexpected angle and the fun zebra sideboard make the space dynamic and exciting (Bonus: It's fairly easy to change the material on the sideboard on a whim! This is an easy and impactful way to bring in some bold graphics without spending a fortune).

In using this style to inspire your space,

* Consider painting your trim an aqua color and letting the walls take a back seat in ivory.

* Choose an art deco inspired occasional chair in a patterned upholstery. Leave the wood very dark or have it refinished with a dark lacquer.

* Add a few patterned upholstered pieces that don't match each other perfectly. Even better if the material has a little splash of metallic.

* Furniture should rest on a thin leg (or even a lucite leg!) to impart a light and airy feeling.

* Accent with a soft coral, grays, aquas and tans.

* Don't forget a dash of sparkle and glam, after all, this is a Hollywood home!

You'll get a little something like this...



And there we have it!  Hollywood is knocking...

xoxo

  9. This home is stunning! So Hollywood glam with such elegance and grace. The windows are absolutely gorgeous, definitely my favorite part of that room. The light flows in and breaths life into the room. I came across your post this afternoon while browsing interior design blogs and the topic of window treatment selection was very interesting to me, especially with such large windows as in this home. It is true that you must dress your windows appropriately to bring out their true beauty.

  18. Those windows are absolutely stunning!! Love the pale blue around them, you're right, it really does make them pop!
    My mum was a fan of this trick, growing up she painted the trim of all the windows in a soft dusty rose to complement the living room (have to say I prefer the blue ;) )
