SIMPLE & CHIC COMBINING CLASSIC FURNISHINGS FROM ROOM & BOARD WITH A CLEVER COLOR PALETTE, DESIGNER BARBARA WESTBROOK CONJURES UP AN ARTFUL AIRY ABODE

Room & Board’s Triplex Floor Lamp sits behind a pair of Vance Gold Marcel Wing Chairs with skeepskin pillows.

The design within 1902at The Residences at W Atlanta—Downtown can best be described as cool, calm and collected. With classic contemporary furnishings from Room & Board anchoring the light-filled aerie in the sky, interior designer Barbara Westbrook and her associate Kim Winkler juxtaposed the company’s clean-lined upholstery—at once both inviting and kick-your-feet-up comfortable—with modern art, folk art, and accessories with a sense of patina. “This space reflects someone who collets pieces they love,” says Westbrook of her imaginary client for the showhouse project. While her varying use of scale with furnishings and accessories gives the residence a playful verve, Westbrook’s clever choice of bright red and yellow accents in almost every room creates a color palette that effortlessly ties together the home’s public and private areas. “When trying to unify various living spaces,” she explains, “the careful use of color is very important.” roomandboard.com; westbrookinteriors.com SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.

When given carte blanche with a showhouse project, there have been instances were the talent has employed every design trick—at once. The resulting space is often an amalgamation of ideas, but without focus. For this showhouse residence, however, designer Susan Ferrier chose to tackle the givens of the space—including white walls, floor-to-ceiling windows and a challenging architectural column—and treated them as the client, devising solutions around them. Eschewing the immediate impluse to use bold paint colors to “make an impact,” Ferrier chose to spend funds on draperies and custom, large-scale art, which helped to define intimate, individual spaces within a somewhat open floorplan. The resulting spaces are personal, and pieces from R Hughes showroom imbue the rooms with a serene and calming effect. A soft palette adds an organic touch to the high-rise space, while careful layering of accessories, reminiscent of still lifes, transforms this house into a true home. mcalpineboothferrier.com; r-hughes.com SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.
