Why This Works

January 19, 2012 by Amber Filed Under: why works series


Happy Thursday and welcome to the series Why This Works… where I highlight a designed space and discuss why it’s amazing! I found this amazing image from pinterest and love the subtle yet bold use of color and prints!

That chandelier from Jonathan Adler gets me every time! I love its unique look and have seen it used with so many different decor styles. It’s a beautiful and versatile piece. The chrome finish of the chandelier works well paired with the chrome floor lamps. The large gold mirror on the right is great in scale and also brings in a different metal finish. I always think a space feels more eclectic, unique and well designed when there is a mix of different wood and metal finishes. The soothing blue gray on the walls is the perfect backdrop for bold fabrics seen in the X benches and drapery panels. There doesn’t need to be just one bold fabric in a space- layering multiple fabrics and colors works great when it can all be subdued by  other neutral pieces. In this case, the wall color, area rug and sofa/ottoman are neutral enough to handle the bright pops of color in the accessories.

My only problem with the space is that I wish I could see more!! 

What are your thoughts??
