“Another priority was finding a closet
solution for the master bedroom,” says
Mirelle. “We painted the bespoke floor-to-
ceiling closet doors an understated smoky green
and paired it with decorative brass handles. The
color is calming, yet undeniably eye-catching. And, since
it acts like a neutral, it pairs easily with bolder hues as well as other
neutrals.”
Mirelle notes that the color choices were trend-inspired, “There
has been an emerging preference in the industry for shades of blue
and green as well as a recent revival for a more retro-era palette that
includes deep oranges, mellow yellows and earth tones. In the master
bedroom, we employed both trends.”
When asked about working with color, Mirelle stresses the
importance of personal style: “Before you begin any major home
renovation, take some time to find out what your design aesthetic is,
including your color style. Even in small doses, color infuses a room
with energy, so try not to shy away from it because you may find that
moving out of your comfort zone can lead to surprising results.”
