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.

Jewel Tones Meet Colorful Accents

A 28-foot custom rug by Retorra greets visitors to this lively entry room dubbed “Jeweled Gallery” by Nadia Watts Interior Design. The rug’s center medallions are modeled after an oval brooch from The Tiffany Archives. Jewel tones adorn the walls and ceiling, the latter of which is covered in a Porter Teleo wallcovering that was handmade for the room. Serving as the official art curator for several of the show’s designers, Singulart provided original art pieces like the vibrant pink painting by Gary Komarin above the sofa. Together, the room explores the interplay of color, from bright to muted to everything in between.

I love grasscloth! It adds a wonderful warmth to any room. Before selecting, make sure you think about how the room is used. (I would not suggest grasscloth for a powder room or bathroom that is busy with little hands that may splash water on it!)
We used this navy grasscloth in a study to add texture and interest to the room:
Here are a few great photos from Lonny Magazine
Lucky for me, I'm not the only one in love with grasscloth, so there are a lot of beautiful choices out there. A few of my favorites:
KFG-301 Grasscloth Wallcovering in Tea from Kneedler Fauchere
Great earthy colors by Phillip Jeffries Grass House Grass line:
And fabulous, bright colors from Phillip Jeffries' Juicy Jute Grasscloth line. Would you ever dream of putting them in your home? I think they'd be great in a guest bedroom, home office, or powder room (away from the kiddos) to add a pop of color on the walls:
Phillip Jeffries can be found at Town in Denver.
And finally, a handsome Basketweave Grasscloth from Thybony. This would be perfect in a gentleman's study:
You can find Thybony at Kravet Lee Jofa at the Denver Design District.
