Hydrangea Colors House

August 13, 2014 by Jane F Leave a Comment

blue painted furniture in the dining room of a Massachusetts beach house - hutker architects via atticmagIn a Martha’s Vineyard beach house, the hue of Nikko hydrangeas becomes a bold accent color.

The dining room of this spacious, open plan house shows how two approaches to home decor can be combined. First there is the type of all over wood-plank paneling often associated with the interiors of boats. Then there is the intense blue painted furniture with its cottage-on-steroids look. That same blue-violet palette was a favorite in the Hydrangea Colors Kitchen we featured here some time ago. Now, that kitchen serves as a prequel to the rest of the house.

Custom blue-violet Italian quartz counters are combined with a variegated purple tile backsplash. In case no one gets it there’s a big bouquet of blue hydrangeas on the kitchen photos to drive the inspiration home. For close ups and details consult the kitchen link (above).

But back to the dining room [top]. There, the wood look is also accented by blue caned armchairs in a color similar to Benjamin Moore’s Scandinavian Blue. On the floor, a blue-and-cream painted checkerboard rug is a vintage-home idea that seems almost playful in contrast to all the serious wood.  Abundant natural light comes in through skylights, French doors and double-hung windows that can be thrown open to catch the ocean breezes.

These are not expensive pieces and the way they are colored shows how easy it is to transform them into statement pieces.

The reddish undertone in the wood seems to dramatize the blue paint. An equally saturated green-painted chair would look more neutral to me.

Fortunately, it doesn’t clash with the sky or the ocean as this is a heavenly place to  enjoy the ocean views on a summer’s day.
