Rebecca’s the rare fashion designer who uses touches of color—like this necklace by Julie Thevenot—in her personal life (so many seem to live exclusively in black). Rethinking the Comfort Zone: For a fresh approach to weaving in color, we took our cue from the color-blocked wooden necklace that Rebecca had hanging on the wall. “We didn’t use any patterns,” Alex notes. “Instead, throughout the space, we kept color in set zones, just like that necklace, so you can really see the contrasts.” The contrasts are carried through the space on African mud-cloth pillows atop an enveloping sectional, a wool ottoman in gray and cream, and a cream Moroccan rug that contrast with the wood and delineates the space. A lot of low-level lighting was added as well, from a trio of brass lamps to a table lamp. Infusing the space with flattering soft light gives a welcoming glow to this whole zone in the evening.
