Pink

The living room windows in this 1818 Beacon Hill condo are original (think single pane), so interior designer Robin Gannon devised blanket-like curtains lined in felt to combat the winter cold. White piping on a curved custom sectional breaks up its expanse of blue velvet and brings a touch of casualness to the formal space.

Designer Honey Collins animated the entry hall of this Beacon Hill condominium with chinoiserie panels from Gracie. “It gave that little space a lot of life,” says the designer, who completed the look with a pair of Billy Baldwin slipper chairs covered in salmon mohair from de Le Cuona and an area rug from The Rug Company.

Graphic black and gray upholstery and bold jolts of color stand out against the statement-making blush-pink walls of the living room. The oil painting by Croatian artist Stjepan Šandrk pictures a young woman holding a cup of coffee and a cell phone in front of an 1866 masterpiece by Gustave Courbet.

The multipurpose wall is "like a sculpture interacting with the art," explains architect Carlos Ridruejo. "Based on the simple geometry of an exploding square, its design is intended to create interest, not overpower." The owners take pride in their art collection, which includes the bronze sculpture by Pablo Eduardo.
