Patriotic Rooms We Love — JENNIFER NICHOLS

It’s Voting Day! In honor of this special day, we have our favorite rooms with bold punches of Red, White & Blue.

This first statement room is from the Florida home of Alex Rodriguez. I love the cotton velvet sofas & how the Bold red art reflects in the mirrored coffee table. The lines are so clean but the space is very powerful. Don’t miss the Milo Baughman chairs covered in white cashmere!

Miles Redd has written the playbook on the dramatic use of Red, White & Blue. In this stunning foyer, we are immediately drawn to the upholstered doors with nailhead details. Yes, upholstered doors! Amazing. Those doors would last 2 weeks in my house & would probably be filled with sticky handprints (on the lower portion, at least)!

I also love the highly lacquered walls. The color is a perfect shade of blue. It takes guts to agree to this design. I’m sure when Miles Redd is the designer…the Client Listens! What a Stunner!

I’m crazy over this kid’s room by Miles. Here you see his signature red door! The crown and base moulding are painted in a lacquered blue with a high sheen, as well. The bold mix of patterns make it really fun. I have a feeling that adults (alike) would enjoy some time in this space.

I’m ALWAYS drawn to this beautiful room by Lindsey Coral Harper. I love the deep red upholstered headboard & the bold design of the red & white roman shades. The lamps are amazing and really soften the space. This is great example of how you can mix different shades & patterns of blue….It really works!

I just HAD to add this room by Kelly McDowell. I think it comes off as soft & comfortable but it’s comprised of a few bold pieces. I love the mix of pillows & the bold red leather chairs. The leather chairs really pull the look together and give it that extra punch of color. This is a good study in how you can transform a neutral room with 2 chairs and pillow fabrics!

Designer: Mary McDonald — Designer: Mary McDonald

Mary McDonald is one of my (all time) favorite designers! So amazing! Here it’s the subtle touches of red that I’m noticing. It feels very Red, White & Blue…but really it’s a few small things that make a BIG impact! It’s the red of the dress, the red throw, a single red pillow, red apples & a stack of red bound books on the shelf. That’s it!

I’ll round out the Red, White & Blue inspiration with this awesome kid’s room by Suzanne Kasler. I love the multiple twins in one space (which creates a bunk room “feel”). Have you ever thought about the amazing design of the American Flag? I think I sometimes take for granted it’s perfect design. This is a vintage 48 star flag & it’s large scale is just right for this space. It’s a beauty!

Happy Election Day! Get out & VOTE!!
