Mastering color and texture in Interior Design

I smile when I revisit this photo of this timeless Primary bedroom. Our client LOVES color and texture and you can see why ! This is a perfect example of how fun my career is. But I honor that it’s the client’s home and their scared space.

Everything is custom!!! The woven leather headboard was inspired by an ad from a designer’s handbag. We scaled the width of leather bands for the king size bed. Both the suede side and the smooth side of the leather were used for the added texture. Then we ran the weave on a diagonal. Hand forged twisted iron frames the headboard.

The balance of the terra-cotta red and brown is married in the draperies and front accent pillows. We accented the terra-cotta in the writing desk and repeated it in the Tibetan lamb’s wool on the stools at the foot of the bed.

Notice the Details of the custom bedding…we used a contrast flange of brown suede against the warm camel of the coverlet. This rich brown repeats the color of the leather bed.

Then we used the terra-cotta hand woven pillows with texture for the back accent pillows.

A fun tin flower over the desk, picture frames of family and horn lamp adds the finishing touches.
