home was in neutral beige tones – we wanted a white and gray color
scheme for this house, as we felt it was fresh.”
In addition to attaining the timeless and contemporary look desired
by the homeowners, the predominately gray color scheme also
achieved a high degree of versatility in terms of accenting accessories
and colors. Boba notes, “Keeping to a gray color scheme allows you to
have fun by incorporating pops of color that can be easily changed,
should your tastes differ after some time.”
Several diverse accent colors were employed throughout the home.
For the family room, sophisticated cool blue tones were used, in the
form of a large custom sectional. “The blue color picks up on the
tone of the gray, as well as the window coverings in the kitchen dining
area,” explains Boba. For the living area, a warmer hue was selected:
a bold, crimson red. Red was used sparingly in the space, and when
asked why, Boba explains, “Reds are bright and grab attention. Two
accent chairs and some flowers are all that were needed to leave an
impression in this space.” In the master bedroom, they full-circled back
to blue, via custom blue armchairs, to add a welcomed pop of color to
the otherwise gray and white bedroom. “Blue was chosen as the accent
color in the bedroom as we felt it went nicely with the blue that was
used to accent the large space on our main floor in the family room
and the kitchen,” says Janice.
