In a recent living room makeover, interior designer William Hutton emphasized the importance of color and furnishings, utilizing creamy tan paint to create a warm, layered space. The project involved replacing a ceiling fan with a striking chandelier and incorporating tan drapery and woven sconces to enhance warmth. Hutton highlighted the room's character, drawing on the bungalow's historic features and striving for a cohesive, inviting atmosphere, elevated by thoughtful design choices reflecting their personal journey in the home.
"Picking the right paint color was super important to set the tone," William says. He and his husband, Kevin, landed on a creamy tan (Farrow & Ball's Skimming Stone). "We wanted to add a little warmth while leaning into the Spanish bungalow aesthetic," William says.
"We were drawn to the character of the 100-year-old bungalow (its huge fireplace, built-ins, original kitchen, barrelled ceiling, and windows on every wall)," he adds. "We've lived here for two years, and our goal when moving in was to create a layered, comfortable home after the roller coaster of driving cross-country."
"The goal was to create a warmer, more layered space," William says.
"Being from the East Coast, where white-box apartments are abundant, it was a goal to have interesting details," William told Apartment Therapy in his house tour.
