There are times in life when you have to count the cost. When you have to weigh the benefits to the disadvantages and vice versa. As summer and it’s Olympic glory is upon us we find ourselves ensconced in our air-conditioned houses, feet kicked back on the lazy boy as we run our fingers through our hair in boredom and frustration. The advantage of this situation: Staying cool and sweat free. But picture yourself on the beach, enjoying the sports of fellow beach mongers as they ride the waves in real 3D visualization rather than glued to your indoor TV screen. Sure you will get hot, the tip of your nose and shoulders may get sunburned and it could take weeks to eliminate the sand from your car and clothes but there will be no preoccupied finger hair combing. Do you know what they call this? It’s called being alive. Tone and Color Turquoise and any shade of this color should have a main role in the formation of your room. This exuberant color with sidekicks of green and coral or tangerine will bring the wonder of the clear waters of St. Lucia alive. Start from the ground up and include turquoise in your rugs, your pillows, throws décor and at least one hanging element from your ceiling. This will hopefully lend the feeling of being entirely captured under the sweet and salty exotic fish invested waters. Motion Even when it seems like water is still, if it seems it’s lying dormant there is so much animation that cannot be grasped by our eyes alone. This motion can be brought in our new room in a literal way via an interior hammock made of loosely woven natural rope. You can also give your décor an element of mystery by it requiring translation. Hand blown glass elements are a perfect way to bring in the sand of the Oceanside as well as the motion through an abstract shape. Unencumbered Furniture Keep it comfortable, keep it simple, keep it fresh. Our main goal is to capture the outdoor essence and set if loose in our home, so furniture that could be seen indoors as well as outdoors is a bonus as well. Sunshine & Lighting Washed Out and Worn

Play Up the Neutrals If your walls are white and you enjoy neutral tones, you can always take a soothing approach… Layering neutrals in a space with white walls can play up the clean, refreshing look we talked about in the intro. It’s also undeniably elegant, as shown in the space below, previously featured in Lonny: Then there’s the earthy neutral approach, created by warm wooden tones and other rich hues. A trio of framed pictures echoes the color of the reclaimed wooden dining table by Bob Card of Greenwood Bay, while wooden floors anchor this white-walled space. [from C O N T E N T Architecture] Ready for another approach to blending neutrals with crisp whites? It’s the “dark and light” effect, created when the brightest of hues meets the richest of tones, as shown in this Manhattan penthouse dining room. Note how dark trim on the windows and the deep color of the furnishings contrast the white of the walls and ceiling. [from Shelley Starr Design] We see a similar effect in this next living space from Lonny. Also like the space above, there’s an “earthy meets elegant” vibe created by touches like animal-themed artwork and a sparkling light fixture… Accent with Bright Pops of ColorI If neutrals are a bit too subdued for your taste, there’s always our next design strategy: accenting with bright pops of color. In fact, we begin with the striking technique of featuring one burst of color in an otherwise neutral space. This minimalist London bedroom makes the most of a bright orange pendant light.
