Pretty in Patterns



Name:

Michelle

Location:

New York, New York

East

Colors Used


Violet, pink, lime, yellow

Color Inspiration


I love graphic prints. They are high impact. They make you walk into a room and say, "Wow!"

Color Tips


Accent your color scheme with pieces of a contrasting color. It invigorates the overall aesthetic, and keeps your room from looking matchy matchy.

Very pretty. I'd like to see the full room, though.

I love this room and I don't want to be negative, but I'm kind of confused about the wooden box...

Loved your apartment when we visited. You've got talant and an eye for color.

Does that box say Renzo Piano? So cool! Where do you get something like that?

You have a good eye for color!! And your wallpaper is so awesome, I would love to know how you did that! And I think the nightstand is interesting and unique, a great complement to the other decor.

"Renzo Piano -- THUD!" Name dropping seems to be the only rationale for the box.

Didn't realize my box would cause so much controversy. It's a memento from a summer spent interning at RPBW in Paris. It was used originally to ship architectural models, but now it serves as a lamp stand and storage box. Not meant to be beautiful furniture or a designer label, just something to remind me of my time abroad..

Thank you everyone for all your comments! The wall covering is a patterned cotton I purchased at Mood Fabrics (I highly recommend visiting if you're in the city), and hung up with liquid starch. The bed side table is from PBteen.
