cobaltbluewallsFloor to ceiling wall color is always dramatic.

Especially when it's cobalt blue.

Add splashes of yellow, ivory and gold, and you have a delicious combination. And a room that you'll never want to leave.

I encourage my clients to collect tear sheets of things that inspire them, including home décor and travel destinations. So when I came across this room in Tradition Home, I had to share ... and, of course, design an outfit around it.

This Anna Sui dress takes the color of the walls into account, but spins a luxe pattern of gold, really giving a sense of the room. The yellow shoes are simple, yet powerful, just like the artwork. Completing the look with an ivory duffel handbag, gold collar necklace (obsessed with) and earrings that bring in a bit of the black, I can see myself wearing this ensemble to places near and far!
