SPRING LILAC 1388

“Calming colors are trend-
ing, but I still see a strong
desire for unexpected
combinations. This laven-
der is the exact color of
the sky at sunset from that
window. It’s soothing
and surprising, and its
undertones intensify with
the watery reflections
of the lake outside. I’d use
it in west-facing rooms,
especially bedrooms
and sitting rooms with a
view. It teams beautifully
with deep espresso
finishes and gilt frames.”

“I think design is moving back to
its roots. It’s not about flash and the
latest technology; it’s more about
classic elements that make us feel
good. This soft white picks up the

it changes slightly from room to
