Virginia Toledo grew up in Brooklyn but the influences that she took from South Carolina and Puerto Rico played a major role on how she designed the interior of her home. For example, she painted her front door chartreuse and her ceiling yellow. These bright colors mesh well with the neutral blue that she put in every room as well. Finally, the kitchen is filled with black and white appliances but is surrounded with blue cabinets and vinyl plank flooring.
Key Takeaways:
- Virginia Toledo grew up in Brooklyn but when she decorated her home she got her inspiration from South Carolina.
- Virginia painted her front door chartreuse and also used many different colors of blue in each room to create a calming influence.
- Her ceiling was high and yellow and she also put in a paisley pattern in her foyer that fit specifically because of the height of her ceiling. Any higher and it wouldn’t have worked.
“An equally strong influence came from farther south—Puerto Rico, where the vibrancy of her heritage links her idea of home with color.”
