walls and trims

L.K. DeFrances & Associates

The trim and the walls are super white (although in some kind of semi-tropical light, based on the palm trees outside). But notice how the ceiling color is just slightly different, pulling slightly blue-green-gray. Love it.

The wall color and the window treatment sure look awesome. The window on the upper part of the house is usually a practice for tropical architecture for passive cooling.

Elms relied on the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams showroom for plush upholstery and chose Sunbrella fabrics to keep the furniture comfortable and easy to maintain. Accent fabrics and wallpapers came mostly from China Seas. “The scale and colors just went perfectly with the house,” says Elms.

A very blue gray – Benjamin Moore’s Glass Slipper color helps bridge the gap between the traditional elements in this room and the modern windows. The dollops of color relax it and give it warmth.

The color combination of these Orlando living rooms is refreshing, contemporary, warm and definitely comfy!

Love the neutral colors and the arrangement of the individual pieces. There is no overcrowding and yet there is potential for a few pieces to complete the look.

Historical Concepts

Note they boxed in the windows on either side of the fireplace and carried the painted wood look across the face of the fireplace, getting rid of the traditional fireplace surround. This allowed wiring for side lights as well.

Tropical Living Room

balanced elements

Amy Lau Design

We like how the walls, the pillow cases, the curtains and the valance are made to look similar with each other and to blend well. Amy Lau also did a great job in using neutral colors to complement each other.
