These built-ins are practical but also really cute. In a room this bright, books could be too much, but since they're set back a bit, and in light wood, they complement rather than distract.
Ventilate, ventilate, ventilate....then ventilate some more. These deep blue walls make for a dramatic and vibrant room, but the deeper the color, the higher the VOCs. If you go for the deeper color, be sure to cross-ventilate your home after painting for several months.
