The owner of this East Greenbush home hired the wrong interior designer who didn’t do work the owner liked. The failed attempt at color blocking darkened the room and made it seem smaller.
BEFORE
Solution Though color blocking is trendy right now, Interior Designer Maria Bortugno says, “It’s on the way out.” That’s fine, she says, if you’re the kind of homeowner who wants to change the look of your home every three to five years. But this homeowner was more interested in “something classic,” Bortugno says. Bortugno painted over the red wall with a neutral cream color and installed material on the lower half of the dining room’s walls to create “one harmonious line of color.” The homeowner, Bortugno says, couldn’t believe how much the effect opened up the room. They also had slipcovers custom-made to refer to the caramel color of the wall upholstery. Bortugno says she likes adding fabrics to walls, particularly in rooms lacking texture, as this one was. “Paint can feel kind of cold sometimes,” she says. “Adding fabric to a space is a nice way to add warmth.”
