Description

An inspiring, accessible collection of the colorful interiors at the heart of the House BeautifulHouse Beautiful: Live Colorfully showcases a wide range of colorful homes, with an emphasis on spaces that have a distinctive "color point of view." Maybe it's how to pair multiple bright paints in one room, or how to build a palette from a prized textile or wallcovering-no color is off limits. In addition to super-pigmented lacquers and a rainbow of pastels, chapters also feature neutrals such as an all-wood interior and a home in creams and whites that still has tons of personality. Each of these homes are shown across multiple spreads that feature highlights from both the interiors and exteriors. Additionally, sidebars sprinkled throughout offer a wide array of tips for both the novice and expert interior designer, including smart paint pairings, how to read a room's light before committing to a color, how to stencil paint onto a wall, and much more. House Beautiful: Live Colorfully will be a timeless collection of inspiring homes with all of the unexpected takeaways that readers of the magazine have loved for years.

CREDITS
WELCOME!
I ve always thought that one of the best jobs in the world is naming paints. That yellow is just like a No. 2 pencil. This blue is exactly the color of a July sky. Splashing one of these onto the walls of your home is like prepping the canvas of your life. There s a reason we don t see the world in black and white, beloved designer Celerie Kemble once told HB . Wistful pastels, electric leafy greens, pigment-rich reds and blues, even inky blacks and blinding whites . . . the outdoors would be a very sorry place without them, so why would we settle for any less in our homes? Inside this book you ll find nearly one hundred homes awash in color, and probably your dream palette too. All credit to the designers. As anyone who s wielded a paintbrush knows, it s not very easy to whip up a vibrant and yet truly livable color palette. The experts employ infinite tricks: fabrics with a thousand dyes in the weave, trim defining the edge of a piece of upholstery, and (of course) very carefully selected paints. When you hear the word color , what do you feel? Thrill or trepidation; it s rarely something in between. But using it doesn t mean you have to paint all the walls chartreuse. So-called neutral tones can be appetizing: cream, cinnamon, coffee, nutmeg, almond. Gemstone tints, from emerald to ruby to amethyst, are rich and seductive but very much mined from the natural world. Or maybe you d like to live in a watercolor painting? Pastels! Whichever palette suits your personality, the beauty of living colorfully is that whichever combination you choose, it will be completely unique.

STUDIO SHAMSHIRI
Los Angeles
When you get there, you don t want to leave.
A buttery leather Hans Wegner armchair, burnished brass lighting, and a headboard upholstered in Ashbury Hides suede create a cocoon-like feel in the primary bedroom. Sconce: vintage. Lamp: vintage Lisa Johansson-Pape. Nightstand: custom walnut.
Everybody is using white oak, that s very much a thing of our time, so I try to avoid it as much as possible, says Shamshiri, who instead used black walnut paneling to tie this room to the kitchen cabinets. Paint: All White, Farrow Ball. Pendant: Lisa Johansson-Pape. Cushions: custom, in mohair. Table: custom. Chairs: vintage Danish.

It was really my goal for him to love this house and to be in it for a long time.
A Southern California hillside is a tricky place to set down roots: The sun leaves plantings in the dark half the year, and drought and fire are never far from mind. But this house in Los Angeles, a sunny nineties build on a sizable plot of land in Bel Air, inspired the homeowner to nest, and he called in his friend Pamela Shamshiri of Studio Shamshiri to handle the renovations. I wanted it to be like a womb, the designer says. It was really my goal for him to love this house and to be in it for a long time.
To that end, Shamshiri and her team overhauled the interiors, cloaking the home in soothing wood tones and blue-greens, and sumptuous textures to foster a cocooning effect. They chose California walnut for the extensive millwork, sourced vintage and custom furnishings to complement the client s private art collection, and tapped local Hollywood craftspeople to produce showstopping moments, like an aged copper bar. We have one metalworker who s literally a lowrider guy, who has the right stuff because he does bumpers, says Shamshiri, whose background is in set design. It all adds up to a narrative, so we are very precise with our material language.
Getting to that point was easier said than done, however. Several months into construction, it was discovered that the windows-a major selling point for the owner-had to be removed due to unresolvable water issues. It was a big emotional loss for me, says Shamshiri, who made the most of the six-month delay by working out new metal window casings that felt stylistically in line with the house. These frame a hillside of wildness outside, designed by landscape architecture firm Terremoto.
It s always been my inclination [to create] homes that are a place of refuge, because we re living in an era where you need that, says Shamshiri. I used to say, You re gonna put your socks on and never want to leave!
Featuring an aged brass panel and raw copper countertop, the bar felt so right for this house and this client, says Shamshiri, subtle and sophisticated. Millwork: custom, Northstar Cabinet Construction. Faucet: Vola.

Black walnut shelving was built into the wall, rather than on top of it. Paint: For similar, try Down Pipe, Farrow Ball. Floor lamp: Lisa Johansson-Pape. Sofa: Umberto Asnago for Arflex. Chaise: vintage Bruno Mathsson. Coffee table: Alma Allen. Rug: Mansour Modern.

HOW TO PAIR PAINTS with Wood
--
Juxtaposition is key when using multiple species of wood, says Shamshiri. Pair light and dark finishes for a distinctive look-just don t overdo it. I like to keep species to one or two max, and I always use the same species on millwork throughout, says Shamshiri. Then, think of each wood grain as a color when you choose paints to pair with it-a dark blue-gray, like Farrow Ball Down Pipe, plays off the dark grains in a rich walnut. This blends the wood to read as a part of the palette more so than the overarching material, the designer explains.
I wanted to make sure the owner felt like he had a new cozy home base, says Shamshiri. Paint: Stiffkey Blue, Farrow Ball. Armchair: vintage Marco Zanuso. Cocktail table: vintage Danish rosewood. Rug: Christopher Farr. Console: vintage Andr Sornay. Art: client s own.
My personal goal was to make a kitchen that would persuade him to cook, Shamshiri says. Pendants: vintage Hans-Agne Jakobsson. Flush mounts: Robert Lewis Studio. Range: Wolf. Cabinetry: custom, Northstar Cabinet Construction. Counter stools: Blackcreek Mercantile.
KURECK JONES
Martha s Vineyard, Massachusetts
Carefree colors, waterproof everything, and ocean views.
Painting the floor a consistent color neutralized it and united the whole space, says Kureck. Foscarini s Spokes 2 pendant, which maximizes the view by day, glows by night. Floor paint: Stone Blue, Farrow Ball. Table: vintage travertine, Carlo Scarpa. Chairs: vintage, in Jerry Pair leather. Art: Joseph W. Reed.

Before the design and architectural firm Kureck Jones got to work on this Martha s Vineyard house, built in the early 2000s, it was the opposite of a breezy vacation home. It was a dated warren of rooms, really dark and internal, says John Kureck.
As renters, the clients had loved the house for its right-near-the-water location, and they considered starting fresh by building instead of renovating. However, that would have taken an eternity: New construction is often a three-year process in these parts, not to mention the two-year permit wait to put in a swimming pool. (And all this was prior to pandemic delays.) So Kureck and his partner, Doug Jones, dug in, working with Holmes Hole Builders not for a simple nip and tuck but full-on reconstructive surgery. We stripped it to the absolute, says Jones of the gut renovation that would yield an airier, beachy feeling. We started from scratch.
The ultimate goal: Make the house brighter, more family-friendly, and better focused on the panoramic ocean views beyond. They moved the kitchen (it now opens out to the pool), added a screened porch, and replaced all forty of the home s small, old windows. Most of the main level s walls were then paneled in natural ash wood, and, since many of the contractors they hired were shipbuilders, the final effect is that of a boat s hull. Even at night, the house has a sort of golden glow to it, Kureck says.
In a place this relaxed, you shouldn t have to cry over spilled mojitos. Kureck Jones opted for easily swept painted-wood floors and kitchen counters made of PaperStone, which is fabricated from compressed recycled paper and is essentially immortal. So, too, is the dining table, a Carlo Scarpa design from the 1970s made of solid travertine. The family even ordered an extra set of covers for the B B Italia sofa in the living room, so that if a stain should befall one cushion, it could be replaced from the same dye lot.
Ingeniously, the pair used color to make the house feel brighter. You can t paint a room white, and put white furniture in it, and automatically have it read as light, Kureck explains, pointing out the black-and-white flower artwork in the dining room and the inky fireplace base. The trick to lightness is actually contrast. That blue floor that mimics the color of the ocean out the window? Hardly coincidence. It all reads as the summer home ideal-and that s just how the family likes it.
We put windows in the corners for a full projection into the trees and the ocean beyond, says Jones. You are in the treetops. Sectional: B B Italia. Throw pillows: custom, made from vintage Japanese textiles. Coffee table: vintage, Paul Frankl. Rug: custom crochet, Nasiri Carpets. Armchairs: vintage.
Everything here is mobile, Jones explains. And durable: The seats are covered in waterproof Ultrasuede so you can plop down in your bathing suit. Sofa and chairs: Togo, Ligne Roset. Coffee table: Airborne International from 1stDibs. Curtain fabric: Hanami, Zak+Fox.
We mounted window shades up to the ceiling, covering most of the walls and making the room read taller, Jones explains. Ceiling fixtu
