Casual and Cozy
With the arrival of spring, we asked Sally Wilson of Wilson Kelsey Design to share this season’s trends and new ideas. Here is Wilson’s suggestion for the sun room, “Keep it simple with upholstered pieces in a durable white canvas slipcover. Add custom-made toss pillows for your own signature look, using exquisite fabrics. Accent the room with a unique lighting fixture and a Chinese garden side table.” This little corner quickly will become one of the family favorite spots to read.
Design Potential: Endless possibilities to customize your own room with your own sense of style.

Dark and Daring
“Dark colors can be dramatic,” says Wilson. Think about using deep browns in small spaces, like a foyer, or a powder room. Wilson suggests Osborne & Little wallpaper (Mandara and Shagreen) and compliment it with Benjamin Moore Paints, Cedar Key (off-white) and Lodge (brown). “An elegant wall sconce adds the right amount sparkle and a sense of bling.”
Design Potential: Sleek and easy to recreate. Sufficient light is key.
