Color palette offers Floridian-inspired charm to the waterfront home
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 2015--
The GLIDDEN® paint brand offered interior designer Brian
Patrick Flynn with the inspiration needed to develop a coastal-inspired
color palette for the HGTV® Dream Home 2016. Featuring
pairings of bright, beachy hues and shades, the home displays more than
12 Glidden paint colors to accentuate the unique features of each
room in the house.
Located in Merritt Island, Florida, the 20th annual HGTV Dream Home is
approximately 3,100 square feet and includes three-bedrooms,
three-and-two-half bathrooms, water views and a poolside paradise. Glidden
paint sponsored the home and provided more than 160 gallons of Glidden
HIGH ENDURANCE® and Glidden High Endurance Plus
interior and exterior paints in various airy whites as well as coastal
teal, turquoise, salmon and terra cotta shades.
“Glidden paint is known not only for a beautiful, simplified
color palette, but also for its heritage of quality products,” said
Trisha Schum, brand manager, Glidden paint, a brand of PPG
Architectural Coatings. “We’re thrilled to see Glidden paint
products and colors used throughout the HGTV Dream Home and are sure the
lucky winner of the home will enjoy the colors for years to come.”
Sources of natural light played a great role in selecting the home’s
paint colors, according to Flynn. To enhance the spectacular views from
the Great Room, he selected blue-gray shade Quiet Rain (50BG 64/028).
The terrace suite, the most light-soaked room in the house with a view
of the river and the pool, is painted Swan White (98YY 82/022) to keep
the room crisp, clean, light and airy. Water-influenced color choices,
including Thai Teal (55GG 50/360), are featured in the Great Room and in
the Master Bedroom, paired with a soft gray. A Sunshine State-inspired
palette is featured throughout the home’s additional rooms, including
Opal Silk Green (30GG 57/094), Island Shores (88GG 68/184) and New Terra
Cotta (60YR 31/368).
“I wanted the color palette to be relevant to Floridian style, but I
didn't want to include colors that are used again and again,” Flynn
said. “Instead, I chose a mix of bright, beachy hues and shades with
lots of gray undertones. I love a good balance of colors with tons of
personality toned down by a few rooms that are light and almost
colorless.
“My childhood in Fort Lauderdale inspired the home’s color selections,”
continued Flynn. “All of the hotels and restaurants on the beaches were
covered in bright shades of teal, turquoise, salmon and coral. I took my
own approach with the HGTV Dream Home 2016 by using terra cotta instead
of coral. I honored the use of teal by using it in the master bedroom;
and I also used different shades of blue and green, but added the
uniqueness of gray undertones in contrast to bright palettes of South
Beach or Key West.”
Flynn indicated homeowners across the U.S. can successfully use these Glidden
paint colors in their own homes to recreate the look of the HGTV Dream
Home 2016. According to Flynn, when it comes to using blues and whites
in fresh ways that will remain timeless, it's all about a touch of the
unexpected. He offered the following tips:
-
When painting walls and trim white, add a soft shade of blue-gray to
the ceiling.
-
Pair blue and white with colors that are daring, such as hot pink, hot
orange or celery green. The unique pairing allows for a personalized
take on a classic color combo.
-
To balance bright colors, incorporate white into a room’s design. This
can be achieved by including white-painted furniture, white
slipcovered seating, oversized canvases with mostly pure, white
backgrounds or white area rugs.
-
The key to using bright colors successfully is having enough neutrals
to keep them in check. Since white is a neutral and it balances the
other colors it’s paired with, white is a must!
