Are you tired of boring grey interiors in the style"This is where you will live and then die"? Welcome to the new home of Stephen Favreau, a designer without boundaries and prejudices. There is much to see here Designer Stephen Favreau, the owner of this extremely bright mansion, admits that there are no boundaries for him. And the interior of his own home in Chelsea (Vermont) is proof of this.
The house, built almost 200 years ago, wasis made in colonial style and was able to attract new owners only with spacious rooms and huge windows. Therefore, creating the appearance of the estate, the designer entered into a tough and, judging by the results, uncompromising dispute with the gloomy facade of the building, turning its inner essence into a slightly crazy, riotous with colors eternal holiday.
Stephen Favreau smiles and says,When creating the interior, he was inspired solely by history and local features. For example, the first owners of this house back in the century before last also covered the hallway with striped wallpaper. True, it was vertical and somewhat more boring. And the leopard carpet on the stairs did not appear for nothing: it supports the nature outside the windows.
Our opinion Juggling with ornaments andIt is better to leave styles to professionals, but creating a bright accent from old furniture is quite within the power of any homeowner who can hold a brush in his hand. Take a look at the turquoise chairs in the dining room. It is not so difficult to do something like this with your own hands, but in order to organically fit such bright objects into the interior, you will have to prepare. It is better to make the shade of the upholstery close to the color of the walls, but it is worth choosing several accessories to match the base of the chairs.
And so it is in everything:each item has its own purpose and a clear justification for its presence in the house. In particular, the portrait of a prim lady was hung in the living room specifically so that he would be angry at the bright orange ornaments and acrylic tables. There is also a traditional farmhouse dining table (albeit made of glass) and many, many logs for the fireplace... on the wallpaper in the kitchen.
