"To make each room feel separate, I used wallpaper in complementary colors but wildly different patterns. I knew that because the main floor was all one room, I needed to carry the same paint color throughout the entire space. Benjamin Moore's Cushing Green is the main color we used in the home; we color-washed the walls, doors, trim, and ceiling. It's a warm green color that doesn't make the home feel too dark."
"In the living room, we had a fireplace with built-in bookshelves on each side. I knew I wanted to add height to the wall with something bold, so I chose a striped wallpaper from Rebel Walls. For the fireplace paint we went with Benjamin Moore's Baked Terra Cotta, and for the fireplace and bookshelves we used a semi-gloss finish to make it shinier than the eggshell finish of the walls and ceiling."
An open-concept main floor required compromise and careful design to make the entry, dining room, and living room work together while feeling distinct. The same paint color, Benjamin Moore's Cushing Green, was color-washed on walls, doors, trim, and ceiling to maintain cohesion without darkening the space. Complementary but wildly different wallpapers were used to differentiate rooms. A striped Rebel Walls wallpaper added height to the living-room wall flanked by built-in bookshelves. The fireplace received Benjamin Moore Baked Terra Cotta in semi-gloss to contrast eggshell walls, plus copper disco tiles and a scalloped wallpaper border for sparkle. Decorative window decals provided colorful privacy.
