This adorable 929-square-foot carriage house in Des Moines, Iowa was completely transformed by the Country Living design team. I love the simple stencil pattern on the gorgeous aqua end walls of the upstairs. -Country Living
Designer and artist Laser Rosenberg created this cool bathroom with inspiration from his clients love of "hotel style." -Laser Rosenberg
This chic bedroom by LA interior designer Betsy Burnham is both tranquil and fun at the same time. Check out that "headboard" and fab red chandelier. And I so want that chaise. -Burnham Design
The cornflower blue in this gorgeous kitchen is what sets it apart. Such fabulous subway tile and perfectly cute fabric on the stools add a burst of soothing color. -BeachBungalow8
This pretty hall in the Long Island home of Margot Brunelle Fooshee (who is head of marketing for the J. Crew clothing company) is painted Benjamin Moore's Blue Seafoam. The painted dressing table and mirror from Now/Again in L.A. holds a shell-filled apothecary jar from English Country Antiques. -House Beautiful
This upbeat home was a submission into Apartment Therapy's Fall Colors Contest 06. The entire space displays a fabulous use of color. Definitely check out the rest of the pictures of their apartment. -Apartment Therapy
The fresh pink and aqua combination in this living room is really quite lovely. -House Beautiful
Provençal decorating mixes a plain country look with heirlooms. Calm blue-grey walls and white woodwork provide a backdrop to a painted freestanding bath. An Osborne & Little floral blind and seat cushion from GP & J Baker pick up the colours of a painting. Bare stained boards are warm, a white heart-shaped metal chair adds glamour. -House to Home
Love this gorgeous room designed by Tricia Guild, a design institution in Great Britain, where her bold sense of color and pattern have been translated into influential collections of fabrics, wallpaper, furnishings and accessories. -Designer's Guild via Atticmag

Every possible detail of the EcoManor is either sustainable or recycled. Benjamin Moore's EcoSpec Low-VOC paint (Bird's Egg 2051-60) and all natural fabrics make the master bedroom a healthy and tranquil retreat. Paintings are by renowned artist Thomas Swanston. -EcoManor
Room from a hotel in Santorini, Greece. -beachbungalow8
The room was pulled together around the Breakfast at Tiffany's painting that my husband painted for my birthday. It inspired the wall color, chandelier, and collection of mercury glass. I love the combination of the delicate, jewelry-inspired details with the chunky table and rug. This room is a good representation of us. We worked on everything in this space together, from painting the walls to completely restoring the vintage chandelier. -Domino
The astonishing swimming-pool-cool hall color in the foyer—Blue Seafoam by Benjamin Moore—instantly won over Margot Brunelle Fooshee and her husband when they first saw this Long Island house. A chair in a harmonizing color was a gift from Margot's mother, from the family's summer house in Nantucket. Preserved 18th-century floorboards were simply sanded and waxed. -House Beautiful
Interiors from the Georgian through the Greek Revival period in American architecture (late-18th century to mid-19th century) didn't shy away from bright colors, like the turquoise in this Greek Revival drawing room. The colors set off the (often) painted classical details used throughout the rooms. -This Old House
The large-scale striped wallpaper is an invigorating background in the tiny bath. There wasn't room for a standard mirror above the sink because of the angle of the walls, so the fanciful peacock mirror is mounted on a side wall. With blue as the dominant color and brown as an accent, the color scheme is a mirror image of the bedroom. This is a surefire trick for decorating adjoining rooms. -Better Homes and Gardens
A bench instead of chairs on one side of a dining table feels inviting and saves space in this blue/green dining room. Photo by Angela Moore for Domino.
In the downstairs bath of an 1890 Portland home, the owners resurfaced the claw-foot tub and set off its classic lines with serene blue walls. Resources: Clear Day paint (item 7081W) from Miller Paint Co -Cottage Living

Simple patterns for fabrics combined with shimmering accessories bring a traditional scheme up to date, while toning shades of chocolate and soft green give the room cocooning warmth. -House to Home
Give your guest a decadent welcome by creating an opulent hallway. Begin by painting the walls a bold, rich color. Then add an ornate mirror and antique console to the space, and then finish off the look by adorning the table with vintage glass vases. -House to Home
This kitchen is a labor of love and dedication from Pam of Retro Renovation. The room is such a great, impeccable modern redo of vintage style. Pam searched for the cabinets in her home for five years, finding them for sale in amazing condition at a cooking school run by nuns in NY. -Apartment Therapy
This fun robins egg blue office was designed by Vanessa De Vargas of Turquoise-LA. Her client wanted an office that felt like her home office but was also functional and clean. The fantastic end result successfully incorporates vintage pieces with a twist of modern. -Decor8
Turquoise tables and lamps along with blue curtains give this bedroom added personality and flair. Love that bird wallpaper! -Domino
I get inspiration from color. Bold, bright, day or night I like to select a variety of colors that make a huge impact as you move from room to room. I use color to push areas allowing furniture and art to pop. -Apartment Therapy
