High End Design for Real Life (Red + Blue Living Room)

November 29, 2017 11 Comments

After my last high-end -design-to-real-life post, I had several requests for more. So, this time I’m taking a stab at recreating a room by one of my favorite designers, William McLure. For the record, I could live in his rooms exactly as they are, but here are a few ideas for recreating (and somewhat toning down) this red, white and blue living room for “real life”.

William Melure's Apartment Interior

 

Since red walls aren’t for everyone–or every home–I started with the concept of “flipping” the color palette and using the red as more of an accent color. (Images are linked directly to product pages.)

        I love, love, love the blue pedestals. Do you know where I might find them?

    Hi Emily – Love this! I was curious, do you have any framing tips? I actually won the Furbish giveaway of one of his works from their pop up shop and am dying to get it framed. Do you think matting it ? Or what? I’m obviously not well versed in framing artwork other than the kids stuff! Thanks for your feedback!

      Well, I rarely ever have anything professionally framed. And, I almost always think a big mat makes any art look more expensive. (You can have custom sized mats cut by some Etsy seller, btw.)

    Love the blue and white polka dot chair! Love! Is there a source for it – although I already know it’s out of my budget.
