Sounds like a crazy prom outfit but it's not...it's a super fun color scheme! My sister is moving to NYC soon and is renting a studio (or as she likes to say, "buying a building") and has asked me to help her! In a realistic design situation, you have to work with a client's existing pieces and in this case, my sister has a seafoam green sofa, our starting point. I've advised her that we're going to play it up with some navy and coral accents--it's going to be wild. Here are some great examples of these two colors working together.

| This is one of my favorite rooms--by Ashley Whittaker. It's bright and soft at the same time. Also, the lighting is so gorgeous! |

| The soft seafoam green with the pop of the drapery is really fun and actually quite calming. From HERE. |
 |
| Tobi Fairley uses a neutral as the base and a pretty seafoam green tailored drapery treatment and accents it with a coral throw pillow and geometric upholstered ottoman. |
 |
| Who can resist a macaron? We had macarons at our wedding as the favor. YUM |
As you can see, these are a happy combination. They make the room bright and fun and sunny and I don't think you really need anything else in a small studio. We are thinking about a patterned navy rug, the seafoam green sofa, seagrass woven bar stools, and some coral accents in the throw pillows. I can't wait to show you how it looks when she moves!

Alicia, I love this color combo! We just bought a navy and white striped Dash & Albert rug for our new living room and I am thinking some seafoam green / mint pillows are in order.
By the way, I have a newfound respect for your job. I have always loved what you do (sounds amazingly creative and fun) but now that I have a house to decorate, I am absolutely paralyzed by indecision regarding fabrics, rugs, pillows, furniture, etc. It is too much!
Hope you are well.
Hey Darcy, Thanks--show me pics of your new hall! I'm going to do a navy piece soon.
Decorating for yourself if you're a designer is always the hardest part. Have fun with it though, i know it's going to look amazing and congrats on being a home owner!!

Alicia, this is the rug we bought (and love): http://www.dashandalbert.com/product/view/trimaran-stripe-navy-ivory-indoor-outdoor--RDB190
(Trimaran Stripe Navy/Ivory Indoor/Outdoor). We still have the leather library collection chairs and couch from Restoration Hardware so now we are just accessorizing (throw pillows, etc.). So many decisions!
I just saw this! I am behind in my blog reading. Thank you!!! Can't wait for you to nest in my apartment and make it all bright and happy.
Love you.
PS Can you get me a giant white tiger like in that latest blog post to pose on my bed??
