Thank you. I do like a lot of those colors in the Linda Brownlee page. I am worried now about the Subtle Blue. I’m worried it’s going to fight with my new floor, below.

You need a LOT of natural light for any of these "beachy" pale blue/green colors to really shine. The op space is dimmed by a covered balcony, /porch. It is not this, and note the trim and upholstery. The whites are what set off the fresh color

As someone else suggested paint an accent wall with the blue color you have selected and maybe live with it for a while. If you are comfortable with it you could paint the rest of the walls blue too. But, for a beach house look, I would keep the colors light and include white in some of the elements - furnishings, accessories, etc.

To me, softer warmer hues are sometimes better for dimmer spaces, personally I detest chilly tones in light that is already cool, our front room was a chilly and harsh turquoise ish blue, had to paint over it. We had a huge shade tree at front plus a covered porch, it just felt cold and unsettling. At a lakefront cottage drenched in sunlight, it might have been a different story.

My new plan is to now go for a beach sand color. pretty white with a touch of something else. We are in Naples, I’m going to get a sample of sand from the beach and try to match. I just can’t convey my thanks enough to all of you. I’m reading and absorbing every comment! I’ll keep in touch too!

The key with blue it to select a grayed down shade like Sherwin samovar silver 6233.

I think light blue will look good on the walls, but, I have to say, I dont like the one you picked and it doesnt remind me of the beach at all. It looks like it belongs in a bedroom, or a nursery. Pick a blue that has a bit of aqua tint to it, for the beachy look.

Your floors are quite similar in color to my look alike wood porcelain.. I couldn’t get any closer to the ocean where I am.. What I suggest is that you don’t go too beachy. It’s a been there, done that look and, I promise, you will get so sick of it. Add to that every condo you go in will have starfish and coral prints and boats…hey, you can go outside and see the real thing.

I used B.M. Ice Formations. Inspiration for your condo, but you choose your art and accent colors. Love the art everdebz suggested.

Stay AWAY from themed decor :) Nothing spells amateur faster

Great article reads:

https://www.houzz.com/magazine/so-your-style-is-coastal-stsetivw-vs~1394923

"Something different: Does this mean you can’t have brights in a beachy interior? Nope. While a high-octane mix of persimmon, turquoise and lime might seem more like the Caribbean than the Eastern seaboard, you could certainly go in that direction if you don’t mind sacrificing the SERENE feel. Another strategy: Bring in varying shades of a single color, such as coral. Or add hints of classic nautical hues — navy and white, for example, looks as fresh as a sailor’s just-pressed uniform. The key is to stay consistent; too many color schemes in different rooms add up to too many personalities for a single house."

Open space and you see DR too - it's near a simple white kitchen? - farther from windows you might like a bright colored table or chairs or tablecloth.

I love beaches - this type rug with green could add life to a blue? green plants, etc...

Everdebz I just love the decor you’re picking out for me to consider! I was thinking of a jute rug under my dining set, which is part of the living area. The dining set I’m thinking might be griege with a darker top and uph chairs. My couch is either tan or whitish, haven’t decided on the color. I was thinking a beautiful blue rug for living area, I love the blue one you chose but it’s a bit more money, I’ll look for something similar.

As for everyone pitching in for paint colors, I’m so excited! The painter comes tomorrow morning, I’ll consult with him with your suggestions. I hear he’s very good.

you might try SW Sea Salt in your space. It is very mercurial , so please test a large area first. I just painted our coastal cottage living room with sea salt and it looks lovely- not nursery or bedroom looking at all.

Maybe this has the honey color of your fan, etc...

Since you're on right now - the sharp look of deep blue/ off-white [sofa] -does that mean you like the nautical/sport direction?

or are you leaning toward the soft sand and sky nature's feel...lower contrast ?

Pittsburgh Paint called Scotch Mist orBenjamin Moore Maritime White. They are versions of each other. I originally wanted to stay beach and soft, but financItaly made sense to keep a few pieces of our darker furniture which led me more nautical like you say. I’m really happy with choices so far and can’t wait to show you! I’m stil trying to maintain an airy light feel through it all, but I do have limitations with money. I’m looking at the pillows now you suggest.

This is my area rug.unfortunately pictures really do not show colors very well

Im anxious to hear how you feel about the rug. The “designer” at the furniture store said it’d be beautiful with my sofa. But I do worry it’s dark.

… and the rug you and she talked over - it's like the stormy art photo above, and like nature all over the place: a mix of blues, blue-greens, and greens - you'll have easier I think cause the rug is muted, and it'll probably be a peaceful bit of lake look at your feet [wear sandals!]

Floors are in! Painting is next week!

Patricia C. posted this color above - it's cheery and in the rug - 3 of these to make do idk...

This is not necessarily a bedroom look --- because your rug has depth of color and darker neutral.... and dark furniture.... elegant?
