Meredith Heron That's interesting that you think of them as unrelated. In my eye I can see the slight variations of the same hue. It's like working off of one big paint chip from dark to light. I usually ground the room however in a neutral and then use stronger shades/tints of said neutral to provide contrast. Then I choose my accent colours and add these in at least in three places.

I usually find one fabric that acts as the mediator containing all the colours so each pattern or choice in the room has something to refer back to. In this case, the rug is that piece. I'm careful though not to match my hues perfectly. The green on the benches isn't in the rug. This creates the necessary tension to make things feel interesting & cohesive without your eye getting bored & reading it all the same.

Does that make sense? Great question thanks for asking!!

pipermuffin Thanks for the great explanation. It makes sense, looking again at the photo. I really like the space you've created and I feel like I've learned something quite valuable that I can use in my house! :))

Kimberly Wilson_Martinez Thank you very much, could you please tell me the manufacturer and color of the wall paint? :)

Meredith Heron Gray Moire Pratt and Lambert.

Meredith Heron Gray Moire by Pratt & Lambert. The wainscoting is Silver Lining PL as well.

Gardner/Fox Associates, Inc Love the wall color. It's a modern classic!

Meredith Heron I bought it through a Trade Showroom that just so happened to have it on the floor but it is reorderable through our firm. Arteriors (also to the trade) has a very similar one. This one I believe retails for about $400 but the one from Arteriors is considerably more. The one from Baker is even more expensive.

anniemoskoff Can we talk about how I might order it? And can you share dimensions with me? Thanks!

Meredith Heron Thank you for your question. I don't have the measurements handy. What sort of project are you working on? I find that dimensions from a picture don't really translate too well from space to space. Too many variables. That's why hiring a designer even to just consult can really help you with your project.
