Blue and red living room created by Tom Scheerer for his Colonial Revival house in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
Here is what Tom Scheerer has to say about decorating with a two color scheme via House Beautiful:
When any color scheme is taken too seriously, it loses its power. You need to know when to pull back. A two-color scheme can be great, but there has to be some relief, or it comes across as too pat and makes everything seem stiff. I tried to really mix it up in the living room — aqua, royal blue, an almost-navy in this linen print, jolts of yellow, brown, red, and green here and there. You can add green to any scheme. There’s always going to be a plant or flowers, so you might as well put some other green in there to talk to them. There’s no room that can’t use a little green.
