In a Denver abode’s spacious gathering space—which encompasses dining room, library, living room, and sitting area—designer Nadia Watts relies on her client’s vast art collection to create a cohesive dialogue between the adjoining interiors. “These special pieces have moved with them over the years to multiple homes and the placement of the art was planned during the drawing phase,” says the local designer. For instance, the exact dimensions of the wall behind the dining table were determined to accommodate the Bob Knox painting that hangs there. Beyond it, an inherited painting is framed by books to create “a wonderful library presence,” adds Watts. “The scale of the art, the color, and the textures of the furnishings create a compelling environment in which you want to sit and stay for a while.”

'When I think summer I think in reds, yellows, pinks, and oranges,' says interior designer Nadia Watts. 'Bright, saturated colors that remind me of the sunset over the lake; warm tones that evoke long summer days.'
For Nadia, summer color inspiration comes from the slower pace of life during these months, turning to nature and reflecting this indoors through vibrant, warm hues that feel uplifting.
'July brings a sense of freedom: school's out, work slows and family comes together. I am inspired by the slower pace of summer, it reminds me to take a moment to step back and appreciate the natural world around us. Pulling colors from nature has always been a special source for me, and what better time to do that than in the height of summer.'

'Celestial and metallic colors are in for summer,' observes interior designer Nadia Watts. 'Using metallics and striking colors is a great way to add dimensions and excitement to your space without having to redesign your entire space.'
'When you incorporate bold color, you can use it sparingly and still get a big “wow” factor. Already have a blue color story? Add a pop of metallic cobalt. Starting with a green scheme? Bring in a celestial citrine.'
'Layering color on color in different finishes creates depth and interest and elevates your color story throughout.'

In a recent Palm Beach project, Watts created some privacy between the foyer and living room by hanging art on columns facing the front door. Meanwhile, strategic accent tables create a stylish separation between entry and living. “Traffic still flows freely around the round table, however the eye has plenty of places to play around,” Watts adds.

We are excited to join in this year’s Luncheon by Design 2024 at the Denver Art Museum on 5/9, [which] explores the integration of design and nature, in celebration of the [now open] exhibition Biophilia: Nature Reimagined.
