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.

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.

Living Etc - How Can I Keep My Kitchen Warm Without Heating? →

Thank you, Living Etc and Aditi Sharma Maheshwari, for this feature about the importance of Colors and Materials.

'Warm lighting is a quick and easy way to make any space feel cozy,' says Nadia Watts, founder of Nadia Watts Interior Design. 'Use lamps and layer your lighting. A lamp on the kitchen counter can do wonders for cozying up your kitchen and making it feel warm and inviting. Be sure to use soft, warm-white or yellow bulbs. Candlelight, and of course firelight, also makes for a warm atmosphere, plus they dispel heat, which instantly brings coziness to your space.'

I suggest:

MAKE THE VERY MOST OF YOUR WALL ART

Think about where you hang your frame too, urges Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design. ‘Most people hang their art too high; this can make even the fanciest art look cheap.  A good rule is to hang your art at 60” from the floor, and centered.’ 

'Once you have it hung correctly, light it up!  There are a lot of great products on the market for this, including wireless art lights that you can stick right on your wall, and angled can lights that will allow you to light your artwork from the ceiling,’ adds Nadia.

MOVE WALL ART

For designer Nadia Watts, art gallery vibes balance otherwise neutral furnishings.

Rotate your art as if you’re in a gallery. You’ll be amazed at the difference a simple tweak can make. Changing the location of your art can dictate a novel approach to transforming the rest of your living room space. Denver-based Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Design brought in a grouping of artwork from other rooms to curate a new aesthetic by pulling colors from the paintings into the pillows. “This created a new relationship in the room that was not there,” she says.



Swap pillow covers

Swapping pillow covers is a simple way to shift living room design. Nadia Watts likes to “freshen up” a room by changing all the printed throw pillows to bold and solid colors. Color blocking sends a message that the room is polished and no-nonsense. Patterns, on the other hand, create playfulness and exude a certain personality.
