"If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them." -Harry Bertoia

I love that. And it’s so true.

But if this is too much blue for you, try painting an accent wall.  And remember, when choosing to paint an accent wall always consider the wall that is considered to be the back wall.  This is because painting the back wall draws the eye furthest away making the space appear deeper and larger. 

I tend to like Benjamin Moore paints.  I've tried many brands of paint over the years and these are the best quality.  I also recommend a NO or LOW VOC paint.  It's a little bit more expensive, but it doesn't have the odor or toxicity of standard paint.  It's better for the environment.  For a guide to midnight blue paint options check these out:
