We were presented with a super fun challenge to change a
formerly vanilla room into an Ultra Contemporary Living space. And the palette we would be working with were
primary colors….on the furniture ! The home owner’s girlfriend moved into his
house and brought with her a round super comfy fits three snuggle chair,
modular royal blue sofa, red accent chair, and an area rug that looked like a
Picasso piece. The hardware was brushed nickel and she had a desire to use a
metal finish on the wall.
The first step was making sure the right technique was used
in burnishing silver onto the focal wall. Metallic paints are notorious for
leaving trail marks, so technique is crucial. There was also an arch entry with
raised relief, so that was deepened with black granite paint blended with the
silver metallic.
After several trial attempts of sidewall colors ( offwhites
were to blah, red was too much or just too wrong, medium warm neutrals were
too----what’s the word? Horrible) , we found the answer ….. Royal Navy ! The
deep blue allows the silver metallic to Shine as the focal point and gives the
room a much needed balance.
