My decision to paint it all blue!

by mostafa
(Cairo, Egypt)

well .. i love blue , but when it comes to painting a whole room in blue people start to have doubts about you sanity :)
maybe its more common in the USA , i have seen it many times & it looked fantastic to me but the people here "in the middle east " just don't like to risk using dark colors ..they mostly afraid to use them so they just go with the neutrals . my navy blue was some kind of a shock to everybody, they kept saying "it will make the room look smaller" but i don't think so..
i really like to surprise people .. i know it will be great scheme with light ivory wood frames, doors & windows & artificial stone & some yellow & red accessories .. so let them say what they want .. i like my decision ..

Wow - your blue room sounds fantastic.

Never mind what other people think - you show great imagination and creativity to go against accepted ideas, when you know it will look right.

You may even start a new trend there, when everyone realises how great your blue room looks.

Well done.

Keep up the good work.
:o)

stunning

Thanks Mostafa

We look forward to hearing about more of your great decorating schemes.

Your blue room does sound stunning. It just shows, if you choose a color you love, and that is right for the room, you can get a really dramatic and unusual effect - far better than just playing it safe with neutrals (I think so!)

Nice work.
