VERY A-PEEL-ING: Designer Anne Strickland selected Tequila Lime (Benjamin Moore) paint to create the stripes in this space. “By contrasting daring choices with white or neutrals in other spaces, you get a visual break,” Strickland says. “It’s fresh and timeless.”
IN THIS BLOOMFIELD HILLS home, interior designer Anne Strickland, left, of Birmingham-based PORT Mfg. & Design, admits there’s a lot of color throughout. “But every color choice has a balance,” she says. “A room heavily saturated with color is surrounded by rooms with crisp, light gray walls, and the light stained wood floors throughout the house give a luminous base from which the color palette is made to stand out. Anything too dark would have made these adventurous choices in color seem very heavy.” Strickland says the clients are a fun-loving young family living in a more traditional-style home. “They requested a lot of color to keep things lighthearted and lively, in what easily could have become a home with more conventional spaces.” portmfg.com — By Megan Swoyer
