home design decor and shopping

(pleasant guitar music) - hey everybody! i just wanted to giveyou some tips and tricks on how we put togethertenny's amazing space. it's all about the colorpalette, the color palette that comes directly, actually,from tenny's fireplace. so it's natural color on the wall, really beautiful blue-grey in the sofa, natural heather in the chairs.

we put all the elements together so that it feels edited, and complete, and really driven from the fireplace. tenny's signature styleis all about the mix. we chose referencesfrom all over the place, whether it was medieval, traditional, the '20s, all of the natural elements. if you're gonna mix things, go wide, try a lot of things, and edit down,

and you will get to a placewhere you're very happy. make zones in your space. the central zone is reallybased around the architecture of the fireplace and grounds the room. we have another zone which i am calling tenny's entertaining zone,which is really reflective of her personal style, agreat mix of references: gustavian sideboard, with some more '20s-type standing lamps.

we've got tenny's nod to the animal, and it just works really well. it's extra seating, it's a bar, it's somewhere for herto display her things, but it's really another great zone. final zone in the room istenny's two cathedral chairs. they're tall, theycreate a graphic element, and they actually lead theeye right into the office. we're creating zones, butwe're also creating flow.

here we are in tenny'samazing dining room. and we did a lot of thingsto pull this room together so it really reflectedtenny's sense of style. tip one: think about agraphic nature in your room. so, tenny really wanted this room to feel like the medieval kind of rectory, library, dining room. what i love that we didis there's a graphic black on the casement windows,and we've picked that up

with accents through the room. so find a focal and pick it up again in the accents through the room. statement art. so, this room was almost conceived around tenny's reallybeautiful framed vintage scarf. that was kind of the setup for the room, and we wanted all thecolors and the furnishings to work with that and highlight it.

so if you've gotsomething bold and a piece of statement art, you canbuild your room around it. for tenny, it's all about the mix. we have the mid-century glamorous chair. we have a rusticlarge-scale rectory table. we have a traditional nod in the banket at the head of the table. and we've brought it alltogether with some gold accents. so i think what's reallyimportant with a mix

is use things likescale, so that, you know, the table and the chairswork well scale-wise, the banket gives it alittle bit of height, and we're tying it alltogether with black accents. mix fearlessly, but make sure all the elements work together. here we are in tenny'sbedroom, and i'm gonna give you some tips and tricks onhow to get this look. tenny really created a kind of glamorous,

a little bit girly bedroom, and she did it by layering color. she chose a grey, gold, mauve, dusty pink, nude color palette, and she used it all over her bedroom. and what this does isit creates consistency and it really makes theroom pretty and very zen. a little symmetry around yourbed creates a sense of calm. so, with tenny's bed, we havethis really great tufted bed

in this deep mauve color, which is really the grounding color in her room. and we flanked that by two side tables that are matching, twolamps that are matching, and it really makes thewhole scene very clean, very calm, and, for tenny, very balanced and a place she wantsto spend her evenings. tenny has a multi-functional bedroom. part of her room is a vanity,

part of her bedroom is a closet, but what we really wanted to do was create a central area where she could get ready, where tenny can hang out. she can put her shoes on, shecan watch tv, she can relax. it makes this roomreally multi-functional. and given that it's tenny'scloset, it's her vanity, and she's got this seatingarea, and where she sleeps, she can get a lot done in this one room.
