Liven up the bland, industrial atmosphere of a basic white unit with color. “We kept the essential elements of the building clean and neutral, occasionally introducing a new texture or finish,” says Barbara Murtagh Nash. “For example, we covered the existing concrete columns with a chunky used brick for interest. We found old, reclaimed wood for the floors and refinished them with a rustic, burnished surface.” Nash incorporated moveable partition walls to help define the space, allowing the areas to be open to each other when desired.
Nash wanted to bring in colors that are reminiscent of Florida and its relaxing environment. “There is no formal foyer, so we created the illusion of one with the placement of a simple neutral cabinet in front of a wide patch of brilliant orange wall,” she explains. “A green, yellow, and orange vase picks up other accent colors used in the adjoining living room. On the orange wall, there is an arrangement of several circular mirrors that are projected about two inches from the wall and reflect contrasting blues and neutrals from the opposite side of room.” The orange complements the warm brick tones and is carried throughout the living room in small pops of color.
