After: Multistripe lampshades and
pillows, a blue wall and a chartreuse vase and mirror frame inject color into
the neutral living room. Black accents tie it all together: trim on the sisal
rug, a lampshade and the Plexiglas top on a chartreuse
console.
The solution: Stylist Todd Moore saw a blue
vase and a bowl of green apples, and his magic started to happen. He found
pillows in a sharp little stripe: that Windex blue, tweaked by black, orange,
and chartreuse. He found ribbons in each one of those colors and mimicked the
pattern on two matching lampshades. Then he took the color of each stripe and
carried it through the room. The blue covered one whole wall and winked from a
group of milky blue goblets. The orange ricocheted from a bowl of oranges to an
orange book to two panels of vivid, orange silk Todd hung behind the glass of
the French doors that lead to Lisa's kitchen. A mirror was reframed and painted
chartreuse, as was a table that Todd set behind the sofa. And for every perk of
color, he added what he called a 'ground of black.'
