a colorful life – in cool tones
We are lovers of Benjamin Moore‘s new magazine app “Color Life”. Here are a few screenshots we took, it’s so nice to see these gorgeous tones on the same backdrop with different styles of spaces. Which of these cool tones is your favorite?
a classic light taupe
Benjamin Moore color “CC-458 Mocha Creme”…more of a cooler gray and looks elegant with white trim.
A blue/gray living room…
The perfect living room colour, a slate blue that sets off beautifully with warm neutrals.
Pink is still a shade of red…
Red is present in pinks, corals, mauves and violets. If you can’t picture yourself in a red bedroom, how about one painted in dreamy pink cadillac (2002-70)—a romantic, soft pink.
A bold hot pink can warm up any room, this wall is Royal Flush 2076-20 by Benjamin Moore.
For a softer/warmer pink like these 2 bedrooms, try Pink Ribbon 2087-60 by Benjamin Moore.
Try a classic muted pink tone, like this one.
Tofino Sunset CC-156 by Benjamin Moore.
As delicate as the flower, this charming, timeless shade of soft pink conveys a love of beauty and the simple graces of living.
Pink Begonia 2078-50 by Benjamin Moore
So soft and so pretty, this pink has a hint of orange to warm up the space and creates an inviting atmosphere in this comfortable living room.
Bridal Pink 2013-70 by Benjamin Moore
sex and the city * carrie and big’s apartment
Carrie and Big’s living room includes a Montauk Sofa upholstered in blue wool-mohair from Donghia and a pair of beige midcentury side chairs. The bright floral Birdie Blossom Cushion by Paul Smith for the Rug Company adds a classic “Carrie” touch.
In the dining room, an oxidized-metal chandelier by Property hangs above a French 1940s mahogany table from Alan Moss. The custom-made chairs were upholstered in a Lee Jofa print fabric.
A blown-glass chandelier by Lindsey Adelman Studio is a showstopper in Carrie and Big’s hallway.
Carrie and Big’s bedroom is a striking blend of pattern and texture. The custom-headboard is covered in fabric by Kravet and pops against the neutral Rococo Stripe wallpaper by by Cole & Son from Lee Jofa. The bedding is from Anichini.
The closet is a functional his-and-hers space, with Big’s clothes on the left and Carrie’s (mostly) on the right. It’s more subdued than the flashier closet of the first film, set decorator Lydia Marks says: “The ‘wow’ factors are the woodwork and the hardware. It’s more grown up and sophisticated.”
