When I saw this room featured in
House Beautiful last month, I instantly felt inspired by the fresh color scheme and eclectic mix art, furniture and accessories. The room was designed by
Bunny Williams for this year's Kips Bay Showhouse. From the magazine
interview: BUNNY WILLIAMS: "I just wanted to be happy — and color makes you happy. Turquoise is intense and exciting. But you have to balance strong colors with neutrals. I always stand in a room and think about the balance — you've got to get your proportions right. I say, "Okay, where's the furniture going to go?" I had the fireplace and the big strong botanicals, so I wanted the other end to have the big strong bookcase. But I didn't want it obviously balanced. I broke the symmetry so it doesn't get boring. You have to throw it off a bit." Feeling inspired from this beautiful space, I put together my own inspiration board on how I would pull together a similar look. See below...

Those botanical prints are quite a statement piece - I can't help admiring that whole wall from the prints, to the moldings, to the fireplace.

ReplyDeleteThere is certainly the botanical feel on the design. The color palette is like a combination of earth and water colors.
