Sara Gilbane Sullivan's Lively Living Room
A neutral backdrop of various textures—ivory stucco and oak beams—begged for punches of warm red and orange to create an intimate and approachable space in this seaside retreat. So New York City designer Sara Gilbane Sullivan started small, injecting easy beachy blue and white tones before throwing the vivid suzani-print sofa into the mix. "Without this wild pop of color, the room would have felt stagnant," she says. Now the gathering spot for her client's family game night feels cozy and happy, plus the allover print hides spills.
Tobi Fairley's Colorful Collection
Playful color combinations enliven the rooms that Tobi Fairley designs. And the master bedroom and adjoining sunroom that she decorated for an eco-friendly show home in Arkansas were no exception. Fresh mint and coral add "an interesting punch and help make mismatched collections look cohesive," Fairley says of the grouping of frames she painted the same citrusy tint and hung in a narrow hallway. She recommends bringing in pops of color sparingly throughout a room for balance—a pair of throw pillows on a sofa, a bright lamp in one corner, and a colorful throw in another, for instance.
Shawn Henderson's Dark Room
"Painting the floors in my home in a high-gloss black was, by far, the boldest color choice I have ever made," says New York City designer Shawn Henderson. To give a modern take on his historic home, the walls are all painted Sail Cloth white by Benjamin Moore, and the striking contrast gives the allusion of height, making every room look bigger, he explains.
