Meshing Motifs

Mix upholstery fabrics while establishing a narrative that flows through a room. Reneé’s gray wingback chairs in her living room connect to the throw draped on the sofa, and patterned pillows bring the sofa fabric to the chairs. Add color while retaining a room’s brightness with a two-toned accent wall and stenciling like Reneé’s. Her airy white linen curtains welcome sunbeams.

In the living room, Reneé creates an interplay between dignified and primitive. The tassel stencil reflects the curves on the sconces and the pie safe’s bottom frame and complements the tin doors’ delicate details. The mortar unites these refined pieces with the more primitive stacked wooden boxes, stoneware, and stencil pattern above the chair rail.
