3. Gray-to-silver. Magazines are always excited about day-to-night transitions, so it's no surprise that they've latched on to the silver and gray runway looks. For "daytime" (or, in the home, spaces that get everyday use), matte gray works nicely paired with simple white and bright red accents. It's smart and stylish.
This is a perfect example of entryway elegance. A narrow console with a pair of lamps and a mirror could work next to your staircase if you want to switch up your look. This color may be a little dark for you if you want to light up your space, but it is ridiculously elegant!
The extreme mix is seen here through the parsons entry table sitting below a baroque gold framed mirror. Add in bright sculptural lamps, and a charming vignette is the result.
Use head-turning color. Dark pink is an unexpected finish that turns these lamp bases from lighting to sculpture. I am a total spray-can girl, so this idea makes me wonder what I might be able to paint for an exclamation point in a room.
