Color Friday is: Sky Blue!

If you step outside and look up you’ll see the best color of summer: sky blue. It’s nature at its best: super crisp, pure and clean.

I love this calming and beautiful room by Steven Gambrel. He used Benjamin Moore's "Adagio" (1593). (image via Elle Decor)

If we’re being honest, I’m not huge on sky blue walls (as many of my clients know…and yes, I do make a few exceptions) but I love it for accents. I love the way the architecture of the Gambrel room above both highlights the blue and tones it down: very sophisticated and lovely…and I don’t read the walls as blue at all. What an easy and welcome way to bring summer into your home all year round!

Here are my favorite Sky Blue accessories right now. I hope you like them, too!
