Pale living room + velvet + 'Slipper Satin' by Farrow & Ball

London designer Harriet Maxwell Macdonald sanded the painted floors and added a wash that "came up a lovely gray." Bathing the walls in Farrow & Ball's Slipper Satin (a chalky gray) extends the sun-bleached aspect. She continued to work with fossil-like neutrals, outfitting the oyster-gray nubuck chaise lounge she designed with cocoa velvet cushions. A turned-oak table and log stool provide earthy ballast. To inject warmth, she opted for a mauve corduroy sofa and lilac lamp shades. Set against the pallor, the blush tones are sophisticated instead of precious.
