More Color Inspiration from Amanda Nisbet ~ Living Rooms

I'm not quite done with Amanda's color inspirations yet.

This post is centered around the many different colorful

living rooms that she has designed.

I especially loved the colour palette she used for (Oprah at

Home editor) Jill Seelig's living room. Creams and black with

a very bright coral colour. It's brilliant.

The colour palette is carried into her study. I

really love the combination of her shiny coffee

table for a touch of glam. I also really favour

custom built-in shelves around a sofa just like the

one above. The small sconces are a really nice

touch as well.

Isn't this living room so much fun? One wouldn't

normally imagine that this many colours would look

so good but she really managed to pull it together

to look fantastic. It's a very cheerful living space.

This is the ultimate green and pink colour combination.

It looks so beautiful - but with maximum drama. I love it!

Blue for a bachelor? No problem. The shade

of blue she chose to lacquer the walls with has

just the right amount of life to it to bring vivre

to an otherwise dark room.

This is Amanda Nisbet's own living room. She

obviously has an affinity for colour. Jewel tones

are always so brilliant and vivid.

Green, gray and gold...not a common combination.

The green on the walls is so fresh that it brings a

unique energy to the room.

Amanda is versatile designer and also designs more neutral

and relaxing rooms such as this living room above. The colors

that she used above are more subtle but still noticable.

The green coffee table is an

unexpected but nice splash of color.

What I thought was interesting about this room was

actually the adjoining room. Did you notice the opening

to the brilliant green room in the far left hand corner?

Patterns are very fun when paired with solids.

I don't usually like yellows but this yellow gold hue

really has me sold. It totally brightens up the room

and energizes it.

I love how this well appointed living room opens up to

a beautiful study in the back. The striped banquette

gives the room a bit of edge.

And here's that lovely study with an ultra

comfy sofa with nailheads. I love furniture that

has nailhead detailing on it.

This blue sofa is super long! The artwork really goes with it.

I hope you've all enjoyed Amanda Nisbet's living rooms

as much as I have. Hope it has given you more colour

inspiration.

Amanda Nisbet's Colorful Bedrooms

Amanda Nisbet is a very prolific designer who

is based out of New York City. I absolutely adore

her bold use of color and her color combinations.

I love the color purple and I thought the bedroom

she designed for Jill Seelig (Editor of Oprah at

Home magazine) is one of the best purple

bedrooms I've seen for any girly girl.

Many of you probably recognized this bedroom

that Amanda designed for her daughter. I have

always been in love with that plum patent leather

chair.

I dare say that she has a knack for

designing bedrooms for girls.

I love the balloon shades she used here and the chairs

really add a touch of whimsy and quirkiness.

The huge bulletin board is brilliant for a young girl's room.

Many of her rooms have a soft elegance to them.

What a fun room!

I especially noticed the chandelier and the arm

chair she used for the desk. The chandelier is

beautiful and not everyone would think to pair

an arm chair with a desk, but it works.

In the same bedroom, here is a dresser in a

Greek Key motif and mirrors that I would die for!

I love the tufted headboard. Love the small end

tables as well. It's something a bit different. I suppose

it would also be great for someone who has an initial

of "G".

Did I mention how I love purple? I wonder

if that's why I love her designs so much. I've

seen brown and purple paired together before

but not these particular shades. It really works!

This is Amanda's own bedroom. I love how the

chair in the background really gives a pop of color.

The sitting area to her bedroom -

very easy on the eyes and relaxing.

Gotta love the Tree on the wall.

And a very relaxing room that reminds me of the Hamptons.

Hope you enjoyed this tour of Amanda Nisbet's bedrooms

and that it has given you some inspiration for your own rooms.
