Designer Michelle Gage’s client — a author, wife, and mother of two — understood what she liked: saturated colors, artwork and brass. She incorporated several of these elements into her Chestnut Hill house (see: blue kitchen cabinets patterned entryway tiles), then hired Gage in 2019 to furnish it. “In our to start with conference, she claimed she needed a hot pink velvet sofa,” suggests Gage. “My assistant and I seemed at each other and mentioned, ‘Yeah, we can do this!’”

A single of the troubles of making use of so much coloration? The truth that the 1st flooring is generally just one large space. “Open principle is a blessing and a curse,” suggests Gage. “You want each and every home to stand alone, but you have to think about the whole move.” Gage employed vibrant hues that are harmonious but not matchy-matchy and joined the rooms together with artwork, rugs and brass aspects. And in self-contained regions — the entryway, the mudroom, the bathrooms — Gage amped up the whimsy by layering on her signature search: heaps of styles.

“We wanted to pulse color all over the very first floor, with halting points in every area that would operate together to balance out the complete space.” — Michelle Gage, designer
