Bold Colors: Eclectic Family Room

Sophisticated shades of gray on the walls and ceiling provide a cool backdrop that contrasts with the artwork and bold apple green accents.

Cast your eyes on this dynamic former garage. It has evolved with the homeowners' needs, first becoming a project room and indoor play area and now serving as a contemporary family room. Filled with refreshing color and eclectic art, it has a dramatic, global impact.

The homeowner, a former art museum curator, decided to use a shade of cool gray on the walls and an even lighter shade on the ceiling.

Contrasting with the gray is a dramatic black-and-white color scheme in various designs. Apple green offers an eye-catching accent. When used in conjunction with more dominant black and white, the result is refreshing.

The furniture lines are clean and simple; accessories have a strong cultural emphasis. African masks, statues, and other artifacts are displayed next to contemporary art with ease, signifying a universal connection in periods and design styles.
