Blue-Sky Thinking

WHEN ANGIE LANE of Tecumseh-based Angie Lane architecture + design, created this dressing room as part of a guest bedroom suite for the Junior League of Detroit’s 2018 Show House in Detroit, her inspiration for the grass-green and sky-blue color palette came from a haute couture, Missoni-designed runway outfit. The dress featured a bright, vivid blue-and-black design, worn with crochet-style gloves featuring bands of green and black around the wrist. Topping it off was a neutral-colored thin belt highlighted with two thin red stripes. “It was fresh, bold, and modern, and exactly what I was going for in this guest suite,” Lane recalls. “I kept the bedroom more relaxed and comfortable, and created a playful, large-scale pattern in the dressing room,” she says. All three rooms maintain the same color scheme, and a blue paint stripe ties them together visually. As for that blue, Lane says it’s the color of Crayola’s sky-blue crayon (Benjamin Moore’s Dream I Can Fly). “It reminds me of those perfect, sunny spring days when the sky is a classic medium blue,” Lane says. alanearchitecturepllc.com — By Megan Swoyer
