Faith's 'Tomato in the Sky' Living Room
Room for Color - East #17


thumbs up

Name: Faith
Location: Malden, Massachusetts
Type of Home: one bedroom condo

Color Inspiration: Months ago, I saw a pillow that caught my eye — the tomato red color with a pale sky blue created such a vibrant combination. While designing my living room, I used the memory of that beautiful pillow as my inspiration. The cream colored sofa and dark shelving that I already had just happened to make these colors look even more rich.

Give Faith a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!

I'm going to try to talk my spouse into painting our living room Tibetan orange. I don't think he'll go along with it but a woman can dream. Beautiful.

The great thing about it besides being beautiful? It's great feng shui (especially if located in the upper 3 sections of your bagua).

Great colour combo and a great mix of neutral with a bold colour. Would have liked to see more of the pale blue. Love the side table.

Thumbs up! I like the way you let objects have the space to "speak" for them selves...

Thanks everyone! More pale blue is a good idea... And the rug is from Overstock.com.
