Iowa Colony Gentlemen's Parlor
This is the study in a new construction home. We opt to call this space the parlor, instead of the study. We decided to paint the walls and ceiling the same dark color. The room gets so much natural light from the oversized window, along with the 11 foot ceilings and the wide plank white oak flooring that going dark adds much needed balance to the space.
Since we were going dark with the walls, we decided to go somewhat bold with the furnishings and accents. Not over the top bold, but a subtle boldness that makes the color of the art and accessories stand out against the walls.
