A Room Blossoms
Interior designer Susan Muschweck gathered purple-inflected pops of color, pattern, and texture around Benjamin Moore‘s classic Caviar black paint. The fuchsia-patterned fabric adds a shot of brightness and whimsy, while the woven wallpaper adds another layer of texture. The purple plate is from local ceramist Frank DeFabo. It all comes together like an evening affair organized by experienced hosts in a location where you want to linger.
