Restful Monochromati

This Florida living space in a high rise on the ocean is a study in soft blue, blue-grey, and black.


The walls, sofa, chairs and carpet share the same shade of blue, but, adding interest, their textures vary. In this gracious coastal aerie, the view is the most important thing.  The monochromatic blue scheme helps connect inside and outside.  Quiet color lets the eye rest in the interior before the gaze moves easily to the soft and shifting blue shades of sea and sky.   Monochromatic schemes are usually a simple color statement (and not only beige!).  They help frame and highlight beautiful views, important art, thoughtful accessories and the subtleties of texture.
