I really believe that this is a year to be bold and beautiful and let your true colors show. After all, why should we shy away from color and limit ourselves?
The longer I work in this area the more I tend to open my mind and respect my clients’ tastes, and this is exactly what one of the most talented interior designers in America, Andrew Howard from Andrew Howard Interior Design, did.
The homeowners, a couple with two small children, were moving from Manhattan to Florida and they knew they needed to create a welcoming beach house that felt kid-friendly and sophisticated at the same time. The wife, Amy, thought of creating a Hamptons-inspired home at first, but together with Andrew, they decided to take some risks and have some fun with the homeowner’s favorite color scheme – blue and white.
The designer explains that you really can’t go wrong with blue and white and that’s why he wasn’t afraid to use the colors in different patterns, shapes and sizes in almost every space of this home.
Once featured on the pages of House Beautiful magazine, this home is sure to bring fresh ideas and a punch of high energy to your day. Free yourself and get inspired!
You can easily feel the vibrant energy of this room! I am loving the fabric choices and the blue and white Moroccan tiles framing the fireplace.

This is one of my favorite rooms in the house. How could you not fall in love with this kitchen, right? I am loving the white cabinets, the pale grey backsplash tile (perfectly matching the pale gray island) and the blue Roman shades. The window shades are done in a Peter Dunham Textiles linen. Cabinets are painted in “Benjamin Moore White Diamond”.

This is what the designer had to say about this space to House Beautiful: ” This windowless powder room under the stairs feels hidden away from everything. Total excuse to go big!” The space is covered in three blue and white Schumacher wallpapers: Samovar and Topkapi on walls and Taj Trellis on the ceiling. Vanity and trim paint color is “Benjamin Moore 762 Pacific Palisades”.
