Dear Decorista, I want a peacock blue living room!



I love your blog. My husband and I have just bought our first house. I would like to paint the living room peacock blue and he thinks it should be white (he thinks every room should be white). Can you please post some more photos of this- I think once he sees how good it looks he won’t be afraid of the color.
 Thanks, Cathie!


 The minute I read this email, I knew I had to help the girl out.
Blue walls in the home? Absolutely!!!


(I love all the blue in this room above...the blue zebra fabric is so fun!)
Everybody needs a good blue room.
I am a sucker for blue on the walls. There are so many different shades.
If he can't commit to the entire wall, why not try something like this?

Such gorgeous inspiration. It seems that I too cannot get enough of this vivid and rich color lately... I like the images that you have showcased here -- to me, that blue with gold is just too beautiful for words. Am definitely going to add these to my favorite files -- thanks, lovely lady!

Hope you're having a fabulous week so far, xoxo

Great inspiration here! Good call on maybe doing half the wall. I'm going to compromise as well and paint a dresser this color. Hopefully this will help convince her husband!

Another reminder blue is an awesome color. And how great is it with the turquoise zebra?

I'm similarly in love. We painted my hubby's office this shade (BM's slate teal to be specific) and we both adore it. Such a great, great color.
