Rich Colors Add Flair
Designer Muriel Brandolini has a design style that captures the imagination. The studio below has an eclectic mix of furnishings and accents. The room uses colors that caught my attention. I’m drawn into this lively space with its slight air of the exotic.
The color scheme in the room is a triad complementary scheme — tweaked (deep teal, golden yellow, soft cranberry). The color palette adds to the drama of the space. The room, styled with flair, combines an eclectic mix of elements. Vintage fabrics, from France, Japan, and India, cover antique banquettes and accent pillows. Benjamin Moore Santa Monica Blue 776 could get you the wall color as it appears in the image.
