SOAK UP THE SUN
(a) Soften the glare of an Atlanta afternoon with
an earthy assortment of succulents and orchids arranged on a ladder.
Brown thumb? Stack books and knickknacks instead.
DON’T OVER-VIEW IT
(b) A huge window needn’t be overwhelming.
Break up a vast expanse with
a hanging lamp (this one’s made from
cotton ticking and linen), or
tame it with boldly
patterned, lightweight
drapes.
NECESSARY ROUGHNESS
(c) Texture
keeps a light-filled room from
looking washed out. Here, a modern
rattan table and
carved
limestone centerpiece strike
rustic notes against
a
highgloss floor.
LIGHT & BRIGHT
(d) Do you
really need
a headboard? Nothing looks as fresh
as
tinted
glassware and handthrown
porcelain cups against
pristine white shelves.
CHANGE THE SHEETS
(e) Uncork
the
color genie with a sunny
mix of prints, solids,
and stripes on
the
bed.
NATURAL TOUCHES
(f) Snap,
crackle, and pop goes this woven sea
grass chair paired with a
silkscreened cotton cushion. A hen-and-chicks plant opens
like a flower.
THINK OUT SIDE THE FRAME
(g) Forget stodgy landscapes. Rev up your
walls with a grouping of striking, smaller pieces, like these
photographic transfers on ceramic tiles.
FROM BLAND TO GRAND
Give any room a
character transfusion with a zesty blend
of antiques,
modern furniture,
and potent jolts of original
artwork.
SLEEK & SOLID
(h) In a nook
off the
living room, a
gleaming teak sideboard holds the eye and adds
structure to
the home’s open floor plan.
