Inspiration: Fab rhinestone buttons from M&J Trimming.
These shimmery pearlescent rhinestone buttons are the punctuation to a neutral background of taupe, yellow and olive green with an animal print to give the color scheme some teeth. It's not readily apparent from the photo, but the buttons have green and purple-pink highlights from which I pulled the paint colors. What I especially like about the buttons is the way the rhinestones are embedded inside, so there's no danger in them falling off.
Elements:
Paints: Old Straw Hat, Lily Lavender, Bright Lime (all Benjamin Moore)
(I'd use Old Straw Hat for the ceiling, Lily lavender in an eggshell finish for the walls, and Bright Lime for baseboard trim, and possibly windows and doors depending on the room)
Fabrics and Wall covering:
Wall covering is Classic Washi by Pallas Walls in Linen.
Nubby green fabric is Impala by Robert Allen in Celery. Rayon/polyester/nylon.
Animal print fabric is suede (details not available).
I envision this scheme in a living room or dining room. I would use the wall covering for the top part of the walls with Lily Lavender paint for the bottom portion. I'd use a chair rail in between made of dark stained wood or brown leather fabric, and place the buttons strategically onto the chair rail. I would use the nubby green fabric for a sofa, loveseat or chairs, and the animal print for a large ottoman, X-base chair or dining chairs.
I think this look would be sophisticated and chic, especially great under the crystal glow of a grand chandelier, and reflected in the bubbly glow of Champagne glasses. Cocktails anyone?
