Something Blue

on

I was drawn to all these blue hues in the pages of April's Livingetc. Stylist Harriet Paterson embraces the colour creating a relaxed and free vibe using various decorating techniques from special painting effects, pasting a frieze, mixing graphic prints, decorative graffiti, dying linen sheets to make curtains and my favourite, painting untreated floor boards in a spectrum of blue wood stains. Photography by Adrian Briscoe.

Don['t get me wrong I love Livingetc, HECK I worked for the magazine and I love Harriet but the first image don't replicate people because I promise you will hate it within months. I remember not so long ago sitting in a editors meeting with the team and seeing a similar wall finish in an issue from the early 2000's. We all said "OMG what were we thinking".

I've been dreaming of a living room in these colors. It's very difficult to find a good blue rug though.
