This particular from the designer’s desk scenario is inspired by a monochromatic greige palette heavily influenced by European flair per the client’s request. Think a stone fireplace in a pub in Scotland meets a tinge of Restoration Hardware. Old world inspired hand knotted wool rugs paired with mink hued velvets, European map printed linen, raw silk panels, mercury tinted lamps with patina, slubby linens and textures paired with tailored menswear inspired checks….all in a tight range of pewters and greige tones for a contemporary translation. The beginnings of this room feels sleek and sophisticated, polished and well collected, yet still warm and cozy.
