Seafoam and duck egg blue

Remember that kitchen with the seafoam green/blue splashback tiles from the tv show Revenge? Here’s a refresher:

Well I have been thinking about that kitchen and all the other places I’ve seen that beautiful ocean-inspired colour used. It looks stunning in tiles to bring just a hint of colour into a kitchen or bathroom (especially in a Hamptons-inspired house!):

Or used for cabinetry or in lighting and accessories:

Of course these colours work great in bedrooms and living areas too. A combination I particularly love is duck-egg blue paired with taupe or shades of brown. Here’s an example in a bedroom:

When I think of seafoam fabrics, the most famous that springs to mind is ‘Riad’ in seafoam by Windsor Smith. Here it is used in her own home:

I’ve used this fabric in other colourways several times but never in the seafoam. After revisiting these pics I’m inspired to try to find a place to use it! Joni from Cote de Texas also used it when she helped her neighbour redecorate:

 

The walls in this open-plan space (above) are also painted in a ‘seafoam’ colour. Here’s another ‘Hamptons’ living space using duck egg blues:

So, could you live in a house entirely decked out in these colours? I think I could.

My sister is in town for the weekend so I’m looking forward to a fabulous time. Hope your weekend is marvellous.

    Hi Naomi, also love your fabulous blog… just trawling about looking for inspiration for our new build and found you. I’m not sure if this is any help but I found - http://www.aeria.com.au/content_common/pr-tile_handmade-tiles-spanish-gloss.seo - comes in an aquamarine colour and there’s an aeria floors in Melbourne. I’m going to check them out myself when I get a chance. Best of luck!

    Absolutely love all these rooms, colours and furnishings. I could quite happily live in any of them happily ever after. Thank you for the inspirational pictures. Lynne.

  3. Love the colors in the pics! Have fun with your sister!

  4. I could absolutely live in these spaces, especially because they are tidy AND decorated in my favourite colours!!!
