Our 10th showhouse in 15 years! This year we were invited to work with Liz Levin Interiors who jump started us with her design plans for the foyer, with a great rug and chandelier, aome pattern thoughts and then let us “do our thing”!
We’re big fans of the rhythm and flow found in a hand painted pattern, this time pumped up for a more contemporary energy in the foyer that was originally pretty dull and lifeless. Subtle color and energetic patterning is respectful to the architecture of the room, centering over doorways and repeating evenly over each wall. A lot of brain-bender math, but well worth it!
We’re known for our color and pattern expertise here at Billet Collins and selected Farrow and Ball’s Skimming Stone and Cornforth White for the perfect contrast. We got Liz just the shimmer she was looking for by painting the pattern with a higher sheen than the background color.
As you flow through the room into the rest of the house notice the “wabi sabi” aesthetic or beauty of the hand made and know that every inch of the room was lovingly hand painted wit the intention of creating a space that draws you further into the home.
