Beach style with pizzazz!

I am absolutely in love with HGTVs Smart Home, located in the Jacksonville Beach community of Paradise Key South Beach.

The color palette used in the house in sensational. The design focuses on High Regency and is flavored with sea-inspired colors!

Something that is extremely important when choosing paint colors for your home is making sure that all of the rooms flow together. Otherwise your house can feel choppy and the color may seem like an after thought instead of cohesive.

So let's see these photos! These are a great way to see a great color palette that works well in every part of the home.

 
Out of the entire home, this is probably one of my favorite places. The blue and white geometric patterned wall reminds me of a college project a friend and I did to dress up our campus apartment. It is extremely easy to execute and adds character to any room.
 


One thing that I want to note, is that the majority of home owners paint their ceilings white! Here is a great example of how to paint your ceilings the same color as the walls and it still looks bright and airy. Of course, I would recommend this paint option if the colors were dark, but it sure does look fabulous in this beautiful dining room.




 
The kitchen features white cabinets paired with a stunning soft blue wall and rich, warm wood floors. The space is warm and inviting with the neutral color palette and is set off by a pop of orange!
 
Another important design factor in creating cohesion is the use of textured items. The wicker chairs are a superb feature adding a much needed texture to the space.
