设计师与另一个合作伙伴,瓦伦蒂诺Samsonadze,室内:“我们煮在一起,”他说。考虑到预算,决定使用鲜艳的色彩是一个战略选择,因为它是一个审美:“我们假装一下颜色,”客户端说。
生活和餐厅,她和她的丈夫想要一个能真正生活在空间。“我们不希望它是一个舞台。我们希望这是正式但很舒适,没有什么太珍贵了。”They toyed with the thought of coral for the walls before settling on aqua, which was "so much moodier at night," she says—even more so after Britt paired it with the ceiling, which was papered and lacquered in silver. The leopard-print accents, which she couldn't imagine living without, take the form of sofa cushions and tub chairs.

构思在宝石色调,房间的室内功能漆墙客户描述为“一个漆黑的茄子。”A more timid designer might have backpedaled from such a strong color, adding blander elements. Not Britt, of course.
