Nadia Watts Interior Design: Front Loggia/Foyer/Gallery

Denver-based designer Nadia Watts is tasked with transforming a unique space: the front loggia that also serves as a foyer and gallery. She leaned into her family history for the design inspiration, as her great-great-grandfather was Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose legendary colorful, patterned glassware is still coveted today. Watts utilized his affinity for celestial and saturated jewel tones to create a warm and dramatic space that still manages to evoke a sense of calm that suits whatever the owners need after a busy day.

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.'
