This condominium in Portland, Oregon's Pearl District was designed to showcase art collected by the owner. Bright orange is the main accent color. A deep, soft gray wool rug from West Elm provides texture under the cream leather sectional. Large painting above the sofa is by the designer, Pangaea. The custom silver wall treatment above the fireplace is also by Pangaea.

Could you tell me what the fireplace surround material is ? »
lighting - I too have a long narrow living room. Not as narrow as this one appears. I am an artist as well and have a 4 ft x 4ft orange painting that is going to be my focal point, plus other art pieces that I created ( sculptures and smaller paintings. The lighting you have in the space is what I have been looking for for several months. Any suggestions as to where one my purchase them? »
Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR This is a monorail lighting system. Any LIGHTING store (not a big box home improvement store) should have monorail lighting available. You will need the lighting store to help you with the layout and total wattage requirements. There are many pieces to the system that are all sold separately.
JC Gregg Thanks, actually I did find it at a big box improvement store for hundreds less than my local lighting store. The system, plus the recessed lighting I installed are what the rooms needed.
Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR Both are original works by me. I was an artist for many years before I became an interior designer. Sometimes I am lucky enough to have the two careers merge and I get to create artwork for my interior design clients.

Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you ;0) Sorry, I use some fabricators and craftspeople that work only with designers. A gal has to keep a few secrets to keep her edge. For a similar style look at various Italian manufacturers of leather furniture.
10) If you really really really love orange, go for it and add a large orange accent wall. Here it is broken up by artwork and the fireplace, so the powerful hue doesn't overwhelm the room.
3. Bold color. Yes, colors this bold are not for everyone. However, homeowners are more and more willing to try something bold. This modern loft is anchored by the fireplace wall's bold orange tones and cool concrete grays. The creamy leather sofa and ottomans, and wood-trimmed windows add needed softness and warmth.

The color scheme I've just bought a white leather sectional and I have been undecided between orange,silver and gray or turquoise silver and brown as my color scheme this is always my dilemma since I like almost everything...but a white leather shag is a must:)
