Pretty Painted Floors

Painted Floor with Plaid Pattern

The Big Idea
Take inspiration for a painted floor from fabrics in the same room. In this bedroom, a wing chair covered in a favorite yellow-and-plaid fabric echoes the floor’s gingham motif. While a repetition of pattern may sound a bit staid, it actually establishes a simple and cohesive look.

Notice the Details
A singular approach to color enlivens small spaces. Limiting a palette to only two or three shades, such as the yellow or blue with white in this bedroom, pulls together disparate elements and makes a strong visual statement.
