Design Notebook: Red, White and Blue + Mid-Century and Mod

3 Jul

…see what I did there?  I’m so clever sometimes!

Anyhoo, it’s almost the 4th of July non-weekend, so to honor that, here is a bevy of beautiful homes featuring red, white and blue color palettes and accents.  This classic American color combination happens to work well, when done in an understated manner.  For example, an all-white loft with blue and red pieces — used sparingly — is patriotically chic.

By the way, this beautiful apartment was built in Athens for a French politician.

Here are a handful of other apartments with the red, white and blue color palette.  This red kilim rug and blue Eames DAW Armchair add personality to this all-white bedroom.

All-white Scandinavian apartments can sometimes look too modern and sterile, with their monochromatic rooms and teak MCM pieces, but this red rug and various blue accent pillows really brighten up the place.

This space is a veritable gallery of mid-century modern and contemporary pieces.  The white loft features mostly white pieces, like the Barcelona Daybed and Chairs, with pops of blue, seen in the painting, and red, seen in the Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair.

Can’t get more classic American than this:
