The Home of Windsor Smith

The September issue of House Beautiful is truly a great one. Aside from it being all about color, they feature the homes of some wonderful designers who use color in fresh and daring ways.

One such designer is L.A. based Windsor Smith. Without giving away too much, I wanted to show a couple of spaces that really caught my eye.

This is technically the entryway, but I would just hang out here. The colors are masculine but very inviting and every element feels luxurious.

Just beyond (also shown in the picture above) is the family room. But this family includes a bunch of boys so Windsor decided to make it about them by painting the walls black and placing a ping-pong table smack in the center of the room. How fun!


Good design is all about balance. Paint one room black and offset it with a pink one. Even in varying shades of pink the room still feels comfortable and inviting to everyone. Plus, I love that yellow chair...

You can also visit HouseBeautiful.com to read the article, find your color personality and so much more. It's a great site.
