Designer's Notes

One bold piece in an otherwise monochromatic space offers a welcome contrast. This deep red chair ties together the colorful accessories with the neutral backdrop of the room. A smaller item makes a good choice for a daring move: when the current fabric is outdated in five years, the homeowners can reupholster very easily, and at far less cost than a larger item. The juxtaposition of traditional pieces against modern ones, along with the use of simple accessories, help create a cohesive design that is anything but boring.
