Miles Redd Interior Design {layers of color}
Miles Redd designed the study/dining area featured below. Take note of the chevron pattern in the wood floor. The ebonized wood and sterling bookshelf is gorgeous. I adore the high gloss finish, don’t you? What do we think about art hung directly on the bookshelf itself? I posted another photo this look on Friday …I must say… I kinda like it. While rows and rows of book spines are wonderful to look at, breaking it up with a bit of art adds a layer of interest.
The carved flip-top game table was found in the D&D building at Agostino Antiques. You’ll find both French antiques and reproductions at Agostino. They are a great source for adding a smidge of history to your home décor. Below, notice the tone on tone graphic patterned floor. The color of the millwork enhances the pattern on the floor. The oushak rug adds yet another layer, bringing colors into the room from the foyer featured though the doorway. Well done!
A special thanks goes out to Will at Bright . Bazaar who focused my attention on Miles Redd last week. Miles’ portfolio is absolutely worth taking a peek at. He has certainly warmed me up to the idea of using unexpected color in my home décor. Perhaps it will inspire the same in you?

Thanks to you, I’m loving high gloss. It makes furniture look like expensive porcelain while still keeping the structural qualities of the objects underneath.
Did you notice the art?? Wow! There’s a work echoing Mary Cassatt’s (an American painter in France ca. fin de siecle) scenes at the opera and a close up of an “infanta” (shown in her wide skirts), the coveted daughters to 17th-century Spanish kings. Diego Velazquez’s 1656 portrait “Las Meninas” of the Court depicts a now-iconic “infanta” in the Western art canon.

Cynthia,
I have a blue kitchen re-do up my sleeve if Mr. D ends up taking that job on the ocean in Florida! I posted another pic on my tumblr page yesterday. Picture this: Navy cabinets with carrara marble counter tops! Gorgeous, no?
Lydia, I agree – art, especially fine art hung salon style is certainly impressive – adding yet another layer of color and meaning. Delicious!
Thanks for chiming in today ladies!

Miles Redd is one of my all time favorites. He’s so bold and has a truly unique vision for homes for all kinds of people… young families, single professionals, empty nesters… he can do it all! And I LOVE the blue kitchen… I’ve been obsessed with shades of blue lately! xoxo
