Welcoming June And HGTV's Color Of The Month

HGTV has announced on June 3, 2013 their chosen color of the month...

 

We are loving this one --

 

Battle Of The Blues

 

Classic Monaco Blue vs. Caribbean-inspired Paradise Blue

 

 

 

 

In the end they were swayed to go with the ocean-inspired Paradise Blue. Perfect for June, this watery hue can create a beach inspired style in any home.

We personally love when these two colors are used together in a fabulous room design. As shown here in this amazing beach house dining room by Mabley Handler Interior Design.
