Sync Your Draperies with the Sea“The views of the Gulf are spectacular here, and the water always
seems to be clear,” says Powell, who went for frosty blue draperies
at Elizabeth’s suggestion. “I usually opt for lighter, ivory window
treatments, but this blue really draws your eye out to the ocean.” The
pastel serves as a soft, foundational neutral, Powell says. She used
versions of the pale hue on the linen club chairs (which swivel out to
face the water) and the upholstered cocktail ottoman. Deeper shades
and interesting patterns, like the dark periwinkle paint color on the
spool chairs and a large-scale lotus fabric on the sectional, add
dimension and fun to the tonal palette.
