The Sea Colour File - part 4
Now that you have your mind set on a shade of blue (if you don't, reading part 2 of this series should help you) and that you've chosen which room of the house looks perfect in blue (if not, go read part 3, I'll be waiting for you here), let's see how much blue you should add to that room.
Maintenant que vous savez quelle teinte de bleu a votre préférence ( si vous avez encore des doutes, relisez cet article) et que vous avez choisi quelle pièce rend le mieux en bleu d'après vous (là encore, en cas d'hésitation, lisez ici), voyons quelle quantité de bleu est la plus appropriée pour votre goût personnel.
If you're bold, you could play with different shades of blue to have an all-blue room.
Si vous êtes du genre aventurière, vous choisirez un camaïeu pour une pièce très bleue.

I'm not that bold.
Maybe a little less blue would be enough. Just the walls, then?
Peut-être qu'un peu moins de bleu conviendrait mieux, car cela permet de continuer à jouer avec les couleurs.

Blue could also be only a little nook (I'm not sure it's the right word for "niche", please feel free to correct me) drawing the attention.
Le bleu peut aussi être utilisé dans une niche de la pièce pour attirer l'attention.

I like that idea a lot. I have no nook in the house yet, though!!!
Je dois dire que j'adore cette idée... Je n'ai pas encore de niche dans la maison... Mais je vais sûrement trouver un moyen!
An other idea to had small amounts of blue is to keep it to a few items rather than the walls.
Une autre solution, plus rapide à mettre en place et à faire évoluer, est de s'en tenir à des touches de bleu, une table, des chaises, des coussins...

The table or the chairs? Which do you prefer?

Or would you rather just throw a few blue cushions on the sofa?

So, do you have blue in your homes? What is blue in your home?
Alors y a-t-il du bleu dans vos maisons? Que possédez-vous de bleu?
I'm joining:
Oui ! J'adooore les touches de bleu dans les niches, cela fait ressortir le blanc... J'aime bien aussi la cuisine blanche (Ikéa ?) avec un mur turquoise...

Bonjour! J'ai un mur bleu qui ressemble a la prermiere photo, derriere mon lit et ca me plait beaucoup. J'adore la table turquoise!
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to using colors, I choose to 'dot' the interior rather than going all blue.
ReplyDeleteThe color of the wall is quite 'permenant' so I will not paint it blue otherwise all the furniture has to go well with it. Maybe the decorations go blue will do the job.
Je reviens pour te dire que tu m'a fais tres heureuse en disant que "my french is so perfect" LOL! J'apprenais francais du kindergarten au lycee et mon niveau etait tres haut, me maintenant il y a plus de vingt ans que je ne l'ai pas utilise et chaque fois que j'ecris je suis sure que je ne fais que des fautes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following, I am following back via bloglovin
Those are beautiful photos! I have tried color on my walls, but I always return to white walls, using color just for accents (i.e. pillows, pictures, throws, etc.). Painted walls are too much of a commitment for me. I guess I'm fickle! haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on our (almost all white) living room!!!!

Hi Magali, I love using blue and white in our home. I prefer to use it in accessories rather than walls painted blue. I have that same dining table but my base is painted black. I have been thinking of painting it and it is great to get an idea of how it would look. Thanks for joining the Open House party. xx, Sherry
ReplyDeleteHello, found you through Savvy Southern Style. Your cottage looks so charming! I'm following now and look forward to seeing more. Liking the "blue" posts.

Those chairs are fantastic! You are making me a believer in blue. Should I ever buy a home be the sea (or a lake) I will definitely have to refer back to these posts for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love the opposite dining rooms equally.
ReplyDeleteYour home is so charming already.
I've found in remodeling that I need to work with what I have. If I could have I would of pull all the damaged plaster off the block walls of the kitchen, but I could see how badly the walls were damaged by previous remodels, so I decided to cover them. On the other hand I removed the ugly tile and carpet that someone put over original concrete floors because where the floors were good they looked like stone. This saved money that needed to go to repair plumbing and the electrical.
Thanks for sharing this inspirational post at Simple & Sweet Fridays! Your cottage is so perfect! Love the blue!
