Designer Nadia Watts of Denver is a great-great granddaughter of master jeweler and glass designer Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany & Co., and she took cues from Tiffany’s rich color palette and design sensibility to welcome visitors to the show house. With a 13-foot ceiling, the front loggia features comfortable seating with a color pallet of green, gray and yellow.
From there visitors head into the foyer, which is decorated as gallery with a rich color scheme inspired by pieces of Tiffany leaded glass Watts has collected over the years. The forms in the hand-painted ceiling resemble leaded glass, and its colors are Tiffiny-esque turquoise and gold, complemented elsewhere by pink and tangerine.
The gallery’s custom hand-knotted, 28-foot rug has noteworthy center medallions. “In citrus, teal blue and bright-green chartreuse, they contain the shapes of an oval antique brooch, which is more than 125 years old and in the Tiffany archives,” she says.
Watts points out another nod to Tiffany — the lush adornments of tassels and trims.

TIP 5: When in doubt, go with books. A simple stack (or three) of nice-looking books--choose some that actually reflect your interests--topped by one unique object is a great way to accessorize. Remember the odd rule: It's generally better to have an odd number of items in a display than an even number.
