Lisa Borgnes Giramonti I bought the velvet stripe at Diamond Foam and Fabric here in LA -- a great resource for fabrics. Apparently, it came from a designer mill in Italy -- although they couldn't tell me what designer. It was a lucky find!
This is the best designed room in all of Houzz - And that is objective, because I said so. So, now you know. That INCLUDES the designs be rich people with budgets to get every colour to match.
Tripple surface flooring. Nom nom nom. »
The room used to be painted white, but Borgnes-Giramonti found it bland. "Now I swear it feels like a bigger room," she says. "The dark corners recede into the distance and the white sofa pops out."
Tangerine dream. Work that color of the year in with a variety of combinations, as Lisa Borgnes Giramonte does in this interior. Fashion label Honor has made it deep and brooding in its fall line, while Kate Spade keeps it fresh and preppy in hers.
Black on the WallsVelvety black walls are so gorgeous, but they require good lighting. The art and the rest of the colorful decor keep this room from feeling too close or heavy. Black works so well in a lively, eclectic space like this one.
Trying to find a color for our dining room was impossible. I bought so many samples and slapped them right on the wall. I tried to go dark, warm and happy. Inspired by The Royal Tannebaums, I kept trying to find a warm pinky coral. The short story is that I failed, and it looked like Martha Stewart and Charles Manson went on a spree. I fell back on my favorite greeny blues, but so many — off the paint chip and on my walls — looked like battleship gray. I settled on a lovely and pure robin's egg blue, and it looked amazing on one wall, for about three weeks, every summer. Repainting it was on our list of things to do.
love the combination natural rug topped by a smaller ethnic rug. Also the stripped fabric on chair and pillow. the side table holding the hydrangea is interesting
