We embraced boldness with restraint as we transformed a Washington, D.C. home into a whimsically layered yet harmonious sanctuary. We paired striped wallpaper in the dining room with a floral foyer and a chartreuse living area filled with animal prints—but balanced each vibrant element so it felt surprisingly unchaotic. Colored cabinetry gradients in the kitchen—from pale blue to Farrow & Ball's deeper de Nîmes—create a calming, blended effect, while in other rooms we employed high-shine Hollandlac paint and thoughtful textures to weave pattern and color without overwhelming the senses. The overall result is a bold maximalist statement that riffs of the client's love for British design but still feels beautifully composed.
