No

I like everything except the ceiling and trim. I dislike the color itself and think it fights with the carpet.

I'm no pro, but I find it beautiful!

I think it was done to mimic being outside. Green, plants and blue sky. Nice, different.

I find this combination rather moody, but moreover, depressing. I don’t care for it . I think it is this particular combination of green and blue, because I generally love greens and blues together. Maybe it is not appealing ,in my opinion, because it is not tempered with enough lightness . I just don’t think it is the right KIND of blue and green to combine. —- I realize this is not the same kind of style genre / setting, but wanted to share a favorite blue green combo room -

I want to see the rest of the house. Are all the ceilings painted blue?

eta: I do not like the blue base board at all.

I think it’s a mismatch. The colors are competing with each other and the blue is squishing the room down. If it were me, I’d color match the golden color in the wall paper. It’s a lighter color than the green and that will help to lift the ceiling up so your eye can focus on the paper. Does that make sense? Sorry sometimes I’m not very good at articulating my thoughts.

I really like the look of the space.

I am eyeing the light fixture. I like it. I think I need it for my upstairs hall.

I do not like it together. To my eye it just doesn't coordinate.

I love the wallpaper and the wood desk, but I'm with Maddilee, the floor and ceiling are too much and I particularly don't like the bottom baseboard wall molding, And frankly, the industrial blue woodwork makes the room look far less grand than it could if at least some of the wood was still there with a beautiful golden finish. As it is, I agree, the impression is squished. Funky and OK if you like it, but an opportunity lost, IMHO.

I find it beautiful too although it's reminiscent of high class thrift shop. Ultimately, it's too uncoordinated for me to give a thumbs up though.

Have to add here that if you cover the blue art on the wall and the blue lamps, it works a bit better. Those two blues are a complete clash and it doesn’t help the overall look having mismatched blues in space.

It's funny how we see this so differently. I think the blue of the lamps bring it to life, and the blue in the artwork adds a very unexpected edge.

Haha.....yes, we do see things differently. I do agree that the blue in the artwork is definitely unexpected :)

The forest and the sky.

I love it.

I like it except the too large mirror and blue lamps seem out of place.

Here's the show house with the room.

Kips Bay Decorator Show House

The show house is for sale!

Wow! Gorgeous home.....no lamps and no blue art in that room, and I’m in! The rest of the house is pretty phenomenal.

nidnay, this thread isn’t about being mean spirited. A smiley face doesn’t make a snarky comment nice.

Lukki Irish.....you are completely misreading my comment....there was ZERO snark intended....zero.

It's too over the top for me, but I can see how many folks would love it.

I love blue amd green together. This is not a good example of that to me.

Nini, I took another look and those are definitely bluebirds. Hence the blue lamps which doesn't bring out the birds at all. Maybe one lamp? The room is on a back stairs landing I think.

This home is very traditionally elegant. I still believe a better shade of blue ( or green wallpaper ) could have been used to be more complimentary to the other.

After looking at it. It would be better with white crown molding and base board. The color of ceiling much more muted, closer to the color of the lamp, but grayer tone. Blue lamp color too bright but ok. Just a few tweaks.

I like it. Oddly I just started something similar in the DR.

Eta the use of color in that house is really wonderful.

While I’m glad it’s not gray, I don’t love it. It’s ok. I’ve been crushing on green and blue for a while now. Wallpaper is great. I immediately wanted to remove the lamps but I’m also not fond of that shade of blue.

I love it! Imo it works because the blocks of color—blue, green and tan (floor)—are all the same saturation / intensity.

I love it for its moody individuality. The unexpectedness is so refreshing in a world filled with joanna gains conforming interiors.

I like it with the rest of the house and I finally spotted one of those bluebirds that helped me tie it together LOL

it works because the blocks of color—blue, green and tan (floor)—are all the same saturation / intensity.

Yeah, I think that's it. Any other intensity or saturation of hue would throw the balance off. They've achieved a cohesion precisely by being very cognizant of this.

Love it. Love everything about this room.

I actually love it. It both surprises me and makes me want to stay. I can’t say that about a lot of designer rooms.

OMG that whole house from the link is definitely a paean to expensive wallpaper! And Victorian sensibilities as well as the absolute opposite of "modern farmhouse." Not dissing that style either, just the idea that it has to be everywhere. This house grandly says, "Not for me, I want color, pattern, texture, expensive materials, etc." I really love it! It also says, "We don't have to decorate with resale value in mind."

However, as someone who loves wood, there is in my mind, a bit of a tragedy of covering up good, beautiful wood with paint. Real wood trim and millwork and molding in a home is expensive. It's always been expensive. Paint is and was used to cover up wood that was of lesser beauty and quality and also nowdays, not even wood composite, a lot of it is glorified cardboard. I have no problems with painting woodwork that is not meant to be glorious wood. But if it was glorious wood, that seems a shame. In many of those rooms, that seems to have been indeed the case. However, modern trim workers can pull of great fakes with the cheaper stuff, so perhaps that was also the case here. Hard to say.

And as someone who painted the bright colored trim in each of her upstairs bedrooms when she bought her first house, it is a real PITA to do it and do it well. So even painted woodwork is definitely a status symbol. i wanted more neutral colors that would match with my color palette. Hyperlink blue, mud brown and aquarium teal went with only the very specific tastes of the previous home owner. Many hours priming and painting my hyperlink blue heating register in one room. So it is a kind of extravagance either way.

While I admire grand homes that are simply the artwork of the homeowner with the designer, I also love the way people work to plus the pluses of what they have and find artful ways to decorate their homes by ingenuity and tweaking instead of always starting from scratch. It's a different aesthetic. Not saying it is for everyone. I just happen to admire the path of least resistance. But I can also admire the grand statement too!

This home definitely shows the appeal of wallpaper, and if you can afford it, when you tire of it, you can start anew with it, just like a painted wall . . .

I think it misses the mark. I want to like it, but the two colors don't refer to each other at all. The blue is muddy, the green is a little yellow. I like that the lamps and artwork were added to try to tie the blue into the green, but they are the wrong color of blue. The artwork just doesn't fit. Perhaps the lamps would work without it. I agree that a golden beige would be beautiful in the ceiling and molding, but would try another green-blue which is closer to green than blue such as the one in the lady's study. However, after looking at the entire house with more photos of this area, I like it better and see what they were trying to do. It fits the house. Is that clear as mud? LOL!

As much as I love looking at this in pictures, there's no way I could ever live in it without feeling like the stepmother ( particularly Cate Blanche) from Cinderella.

Like the wallpaper & furnishings very much, but the paint color looks too much like battleship grey to me - so no.

Makes me wonder if there isn't some pretty wood under all that glossy paint...

I would like to learn the art of deliberately not matching things. I like for all my colours to really match a lot and I think that’s not the highest level of decorating that I could get to.

I really love the entire room.

I don't like the miss matched colors at all. Then you have three different shades of non-matching blues. I think they need to invest in a color wheel...HAHA! Who mixes dark hunter green with a light greyish blue?

At first glance, I didn’t like it. But now knowing it’s a show house..... it’s meant to push the limits & I kinda think it’s genius now& way beyond the box of what I could ever imagine. I wish I could push the limits more!

I absolutely love it but the chair looks like an afterthought. Who would sit there and stare at themselves in the mirror?

@ncmomtothree

Perfect spot to apply makeup.

Thanks for posting the link to the house. I enjoyed visiting every room and yes, it certainly does say wallpaper is making a comeback!

As far as the OP, it doesn't strike my fancy and it's something I'd never do, I don't think it clashes. Unexpected, yes, but it doesn't warm the cockles of my heart.

As much as I liked the room, I don't like the rest of the house. It makes me want to curl into a fetal position and hide. WAY too much input for my senses.

Navy and Olive will work. The light blue is ok but not that much of it, IMO. I found this online. I'm not a color expert, but if your chair was cream, and the wood was toned down a bit to a neutral or more brown/less red stain...anyways - this art is pretty cool looking :) I like your bold wallpaper in here and I did not look at your whole house.

My first thought when I saw the photo was wondering how accurate the ceiling color is, based on the nearby window -- we don't know if it's north-facing, what time of day the photo was taken etc. And it's a high gloss finish.

According to the ID,

https://www.instagram.com/p/CFfJZ6eJqza/

the paint color is BM Buckland Blue, which is much more similar to the lamp color than the way the paint color appears in the photo, at least on my screen,

Buckland Blue is also warmer in real life than the way the color looks on the ceiling, as a cooler grey tone.

It's interesting that this is area isn't an actual room, but the back staircase.

I *love* the wallpaper in the Writer's Lair room, and the Mark Sikes living room (though I don't like the baby blue upholstered furniture, rug, and curtains Sikes chose).

carol, from the pre-reno photos, it looks like everything except for the panelled library had already been painted,

It's a remarkable effort during a pandemic, and for the very first Kips Bay show house in Dallas. I do think there may have been the idea of going over the top with the rooms to help draw attention to the inaugural Dallas effort, and perhaps with the pandemic, the idea of providing an extra sensory treat for viewers.

It's terrific that they're selling virtual tours ($20 each) as well because of the pandemic, to offset the smaller number able or willing to tour in person.
