Although this is a year-round house, Suvalsky chose to bring summer colors into the living room. "I wanted it to feel fresh and sunny, but without the clichés," he says. "We used blue, green, yellow and white in a way that adds a kind of punctuation."Since the green is used only for the chairs and one lamp, it breaks up the overall golden tone of the room. The scale of the striped chair "is bold enough to almost be architecture, and it sort of matches the boxes on the rug," the designer says. There are a lot of windows, so Sulvalsky softened them with white drapes, which keep them from becoming the focal point of the room."The blue sofa is the only really traditional element," he says. "We used the hard pieces, like the coffee table, to bring in a rusticated wood and some metals that add an elegance to the room without being formal."Pair of sofas, blue sofa, wing chair: custom designed by Andrew Suvalsky; rug: The New England Collection; sofa table (foreground): Center 44; green lamp on sofa table: Antiques on Old Plank Road; coffee table: Circa Antiques; wall lamp: O'Lampia; metal side table: Restoration Hardware; drapes: Sharon Poirier
