I am completely smitten with this 8,300 sq ft 1950s farmhouse in Westchester, New York designed by Sally Rigg of Rigg Design. Bold colour choices slap you in the face as soon as you walk in the front door – Ressource Paints’ La Pinède green on the walls paired with scenic Zuber wallpaper, then a dining room in a blue as blue can be (Farrow & Ball’s Dinnerware), which leads into a curry yellow butler’s pantry. The colours come at you again in the primary bedroom with a gorgeous de Gournay wall covering. I love that there are rooms of total drama and colour drenching but then some moments of calm with mostly white spaces. It makes the colourful rooms that much more impactful.

Rowayton Barn in Norwalk, Connecticut was originally designed and built by Barbara Garfield and its 1,645 square foot interior has been infused with tons of personality, eclecticism and the most beautiful boldly bright colours by designer Patrick Mele. Stunning yellow curtains (made from 2 yellow Designers Guild fabrics), Corinthian columns, a collection of 125 plates hanging on the dining room wall, a plethora of colours unite in the living room, a guest bed swathed in fabrics, a tapestry in a guest bedroom and so much more make this home so unique and cheerful, and “Belgium meets Beverly Hills” as Patrick put it.

A young family approached our studio and asked us to help them gut-renovate a Landmarked townhouse they had recently purchased in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Both clients love color and tile and these elements became a key part of the overall renovation project. We selected a porcelain tile that is playful, fun and has a timeless aesthetic to use throughout the parlor floor. we installed a checkerboard blue and white tile pattern all the way down the length of the parlor primary hallway, rather than the typical wood floor one normally sees. Color plays a key role throughout the home and, in particular, on the parlor level. Door frames are painted in various bright shades, the primary hallway has a blue paint wainscot that wraps around into the mudroom zone, and the center living space (and future library) is painted a shade of deep green. One of the early requests the clients made during our design process together was for a pink kitchen. Although there is lots of color used throughout the home, the brighter hues are carefully balanced with large areas of more neutral tones.
If bold primary colours are your jam, then this home is right up your alley! Designed by Studio Officina, this is a really fun take on colour. As much as I love colourful walls and ceilings, I am also obsessed with neutral walls and boldly painted trim and windows. Photos: Louisa & Fyodor.

Designer Tom Morris created sophisticated yet fun spaces in this late-Georgian style home in north London. Gorgeous, rich colours in terracotta and dark orange, teal and smoky blue, primary reds and greens makes for a vibrant and moody vibe for the homeowner and his daughters. I love a daring, mostly on the dark side palette like this. It’s like a big hug. Photos: Boz Gagovski.
