This returning client wanted to design her foyer as we had previously designed all the rooms off this entry. The goal was to create an elegant and timeless transitional space. White linen wallcovering adorns the space and adds textural interest. We did not want the space to have to “shout” to gain admiration. We looked for details that would last the latest fads and transition smoothly into the other rooms. The sisal area rug provides warmth and pattern with a hint of metallic in the silver to provide a formal yet relaxed look. The diamond shapes of the area rug are repeated in a gray and pale yellow Wilton stair runner. The polished nickel lighting of the drum ceiling light and polished nickel with mirror back plate of the sconces add shine and highlight the textile walls. The gray wood cabinet with raffia center panels provides extra storage while relating to the sisal area rug. The space is finished with a lively patterned velvet covered acrylic bench that speak to the colors of the antique mirror.
