In 2015, VT is pleased to announce our entry into home. Our motto has always been image, identity, clarity, and defining your style type gives you a place to begin. Once you have reached that clarity, it is a natural evolution to translate that into your environment as an expression of your authentic self.
Designing your home based on your style type (or at least infusing the elements) allows you to create the perfect space that represents the best version of you. Join us each week as we share our point of view on the incredible world of interior design, applying our principles and philosophies to everything from art and architecture to current trends and designers.
When Jesse Garza and I wrote our second book Life in Color, in addition to hours of research, there were days of discussion regarding our experiences with clients and theories on color and how it makes you feel. The color blue is always a color that people respond to in a very positive way. We painted our offices in pale shades of blue and without fail, when we had meetings or visitors, people loved the space and felt immediately at ease.
So we called it “The Blue Trick” and began wearing blue for most television appearances and interviews. We now pass this trick on to you–it goes both for your wardrobe and your home!

The soft blue walls with cream trim are sophisticated in a bohemian way.
The blue and cream ceiling detail play on the patterns and are timeless in this country home.
Here are some of my favorite blue rooms to inspire you:
A very chic library with incredible ceiling detail.
The depth of blue in the subway tile is extraordinary and creates a crsip contrast with the white tub.
A contemporary tufted blue headboard is just the pop of color needed in this neutral room.
The rich navy walls feel fresh with the linen white chair rail.
A deep rich blue sofa is a quiet pop of color in this chic tonal room.
The low, velvet contemporary bed frame is very clean in this minimal istic room.
I love the soft warm blue used in this room and the pattern in the rug.
I love this dark and moody den.
A very soft and elegant blue living room. The low furniture with the high ceiling height makes it quite dramatic.
This room in pale aqua with soft blue trim is very soothing to the eye.
