Royal Purple + Seafoam

In this Brooklyn studio designed by Nick Olsen, a Mexican serape is an unexpected upholstery choice for a Louis XV–style chair. The vintage blanket inspired the apartment's vibrant color scheme.

"We wanted the dining room to be a graceful, elegant jewel box that glows in candlelight," Christina Murphy says. She wrapped the room in Stark's luminous Corean wallpaper, hand-painted on a silk ground. Hickory Chair's Linwood side chairs in silver-leaf finish and mirrored fixtures from Worlds Away enhance the shimmery mood.

Green Tea + Dusty Brown

To bring a feeling of nature into a New York living room, designer Fawn Galli used a custom minty green: "I don't think a color should be too saturated or strong on a wall." Pal + Smith chairs upholstered in Safari by Manuel Canovas, a Paley sofa from Profiles, a Fiona Curran Palette carpet for the Rug Company, and a painting by Anne Siems give the room "a sense of storybook fantasy."

Emerald + Scarlet

"I love the hard geometry of the chest next to the frilly curtains," Nick Olsen says of this Brooklyn studio. To add a soft touch to the metal Heimdal bed from Ikea, he slipcovered a length of foam in Schumacher's Hong Kong for a headboard. Mercury glass lamps from Circa Lighting make an impact. They're set on vintage end tables—originally brown, Olsen repainted them a bright Chinese red, "because every room needs a touch of red."
