For big impact in spaces without a lot of real estate, designer Thom Filicia chooses strong colors and uses them everywhere. At the Kips Bay decorator show house in New York, he lacquered the ceiling and walls of a pass-through space in Benjamin Moore's Cat's Eye, a fun Kelly green. "Using the same color and finish on the ceiling and walls gives so much depth to a tiny room," he says. He suggests using bold colors in powder rooms and small entries, where they won’t overwhelm since there's not a lot of wall space for the color to live.
Cortney and Robert Novogratz, authors of Home by Novogratz, never hesitate with color. In a recent project, the couple painted the ceiling, the walls, and the floors of this teenage girl's room in similar tones of pink. "It’s like a lagoon of color," Cortney says. "A room feels so warm when it's wrapped in a single shade." If you're worried about drowning in a sea of color, Cortney recommends starting in doses, like painting just the door or only the molding in a room.
Darryl Carter's Lesson in Contrast
Darryl Carter, known for his penchant for pale neutral palettes, made quite the entrance in the foyer of his country house in Virginia by painting the original front door in a glossy Marbury Brown from the Darryl Carter Colors collection for Benjamin Moore. "Glossy finishes tend to highlight imperfections," he explains. But that's precisely what he was hoping to achieve since he wanted to emphasize the patina on the 18th-century door's surface.
