Natural Hues & Blues

Opposite may attract, but sometimes they clash. It’s not uncommon for Dee Frazier Interiors (DFI) designers to be asked to provide “design therapy”. In a room with a built-in 150-gallon aquarium, complete with alternating teal and blue lights, as a focal point, a husband and wife had very different preferences in terms of color palette.Before consulting with Dee and her team, they purchased a couple of neutral and yellow upholstered chairs and furniture that was under-scaled for the room. To solve their color differences, DFI designers added a splash of golden honeysuckle paint inside the coffered ceiling squares and on the silk draperies to provide balance and give her a dose of color.

Removing the understated lap siding from the fireplace was also a must. DFI’s trusted mason came to the rescue. Stacking local natural stone gave the family room a deep-rooted, traditional Texas feel. With the salt water fish serving as live art, and gunmetal and gold sculptured wall art from a local artist, the wall is perfectly accented. To fill out the space, additional furnishing and a beautiful, new square, silver leaf cocktail table and small clover style ottomans for additional seating were added, to completing both theé room’s look and function. Teal and blue accent vases and accessories gave her more of the color she wanted and balanced the aquarium’s tones. Check out my interior designer blogs.
