Mmm, chocolate. In this New Orleans foyer designed by Ned Marshall, walls are painted Bittersweet Chocolate by Benjamin Moore. The Portuguese Victorian sofa is covered in Schiaparelli pink linen. "The Portuguese always imitated English furniture, but they did it in such an exuberant way that it's really over-the-top," says Marshall. "Sort of like what the Italians do with French furniture."

Walls are painted Riviera Azure by Benjamin Moore. Note: I painted a swatch this color, and it was a darker, more intense blue than the room pictured here.

In this all-white ethereal bedroom of a Wellington, Florida home, walls, ceiling, and trim are painted Benjamin Moore's Seashell. Mosquito netting drapes the painted bamboo bed. Lamps are from Linens n' Things; the woven carpet is from Beauvais. Not sure about the rug -- but don't you love the idea of throwing a fun textile on top of a grass carpet?

Designer Angela Free used four different shades of Benjamin Moore white paint in this living room: Spanish White on the inner wall molding; White Dove on the outer wall molding; White Opulence on the molding and crown trim; and Sand Dollar on the ceiling. Free describes this latter color as a "a very pale rosy white"; she painted it in high gloss to create "a soft reflective glow." Decorative artist Katherine Jacobus painted a subtle faux linen effect on all the molding to give it a sense of depth and dimension.
Free writes: "My objective with this room was to create a sense of light, calm, and livable comfort -- an intimacy and a juxtaposition of soft colors popped with contrasts. Richness and depth in fabrics and window treatments are minimized to allow as much light as possible to enter the space."

Another view of the all-white bedroom in the Wellington, Florida home. Walls, ceiling, and trim are painted Benjamin Moore’s Seashell. All the furniture was painted white; the ultra-scale bergeres were upholstered in white cotton. A beveled mirror and vintage blue-glass lamp add glamour. The Beauvais carpet is "a smoother weave than sisal, a good barefoot carpet," says Courtney Coleman, who designed the house with Bill Brockschmidt.

I love the paint colors Scott Currie used in his Southampton library -- the walls are painted Sea Haze and the trim is Silver Dollar, both by Benjamin Moore. The sofa is upholstered in Mulberry linen, in canteloupe, by Lulu DK. Chinese Chippendale-style chairs found in Palm Beach surround a ship captain’s chest, and the framed collection of egg specimens is 19th century.

In this living room, walls are painted Sailor's Knot by Ralph Lauren. If you can't find RL paint, American White by Benjamin Moore and Desert Star by Behr are very close matches.

The master bedroom of a Victorian mansion, redesigned by Chicago-based decorator Kara Mann. "I took that romantic, cottagey, tone-on-tone sensibility [the homeowners were] drawn to in Bobby McAlpine's work," she says, "and gave it a more urban edge."
Mann added a lustrous Moroccan rug to the homeowners' original bed, and boosted the glamor quotient with a Varenne Collection Opera armchair and an Ixelles Collection wing chair, both from Casamidy. The faux bois wallpaper is from Nobilis and the ceiling is painted Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. The bed linens are from Muse, the 'Simple' bench is from BDDW, and the lamps and Ixelles tables are from Casamidy. The side table is Cobra by R & Y Augousti, through Barneys. The drapes are Renaissance from Opuzen.
Mann's design tips:
She often relies on monochromatic color schemes in her work. "They're easy to put together; they can be a simple way to give disparate elements unity; and the results are often elegant and clean," she says. The trick is to keep it lively and interesting. "No matter how much you vary the hue, using one color can be monotonous and one-dimensional."
To make sure the palette isn't boring, she seeks out a color's inner shadow and adds some "murky tones to the mix. The colors are off-kilter and unexpected, so they surprise the eye," she says. In the bedroom above, she enveloped the cream, taupe and brown furnishings with a faux-wood wallpaper with an ashy cast, then painted the ceiling Revere Pewter, a cream with a cloudy tint that tones it down. She added depth and diversity to the entire space with texture, sheen, controlled hits of pattern and surprising shapes.

A Belgian-style home decorated by Kay Douglass. She used an antique door as the headboard, a trick she often employs to add interest while taking up less space in the room.
Ivy-patterned pillowcases are custom-made from Galbraith & Paul fabric. The pair of Earl chairs are from South of Market, Douglass’s Atlanta antiques store. (You can find the chairs online, too -- they're by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.)
The magazine says the walls are painted Seapearl, by Benjamin Moore, but this must be an error, as a commenter pointed out below.

Lamps are vintage; to find similar ones, search 'Blanc de Chine' on eBay. IKEA curtains and bedding. Photo from morewaystowastetime.blogspot.com.
Tips for covering a headboard: Buy a plain headboard or a piece of cheap wood, plywood or MDF from a hardware store, a piece of thick foam you can cut with scissors, and fabric. If you want a tufted headboard, buy some over-sized buttons, too (ideally, you'd cover the buttons with the fabric for a monochromatic look). Stretch the fabric over the foam and attach it to the back of the board with a staple gun. To tuft it, drill holes in the wood to pull the buttons through.
If that sounds like too much work, simply hang a large painting at the head of your bed, or curtains behind your bed -- whether there's a window or not -- in a striking fabric.
Designer Amelia T. Handegan: “Green is a soothing color. This shade (Creekside Green by Benjamin Moore) is a sage green that stays muted, even with the sun on it. It makes me feel relaxed. It's not a color that is shouting to be noticed. It's calm and comfortable.”

Aaron Hom, I want to have your babies. Or just move into your fabulous Bay Area craftsman home. We can snuggle on the Le Corbusier LC5 daybed, perch our Kir Royales on the Piero Lissoni Jelly table, and turn off the Design Within Reach Spun lamp when things get, well, toasty.

Glorious! In this Nantucket kitchen decorated by Sandi Holland, walls are painted Navajo White and cabinets are Tudor Brown, both by Benjamin Moore. Counters are Calcutta Gold marble.
“I'm a great believer in big islands,” says Holland. “The mistake people often make is putting the island and the counters too far apart. All you need is room for two people to pass.”

If this reminds you of a movie kitchen, there's a good reason -- it was designed by James Radin, the interior designer who created the wet dream of a kitchen in "Something's Gotta Give" (and whom we can credit with launching a white kitchen trend that's still going strong).

The bedroom of a Silicon Valley townhouse designed by Shane Reilly, founder of decorati.com. Walls are painted Baby's Breath by Benjamin Moore. "I love how this paint works almost anywhere – it can look gray, light blue, and even white (but it’s more interesting than white)," writes Reilly. "The color works with almost any color combination. We used it all over the house."
