Simplicity in Contrast | Fawn Gali

Views of infinity draw the eye into a room that uses color and form sparingly to create an energetic juxtaposition of focal points.

Within a pristine white backdrop, the fireplace surround pairs ornate marble with solid black – to mirror the entry from the adjacent space where stark black walls and crisp white trim introduce a modern twist to the ornately traditional architectural details of the house. This progression goes deeper with the chevron pattern inside the fireplace flowing continuously into the floor.

All of these subtle details build on the effect of the infinity mirror – its vibrant yellow light playing happily with the bright blue of the sofas.

Modern furniture contrasts the traditional architecture, while the antique Persian Kerman carpet pairs with it, grounding us in history while making a progressive statement about a bold and bright future.

There’s a peace that comes from the pairing of blues and neutrals in Kerman (and other Persian formal carpets) that calms the intense vibration of saturated hues around, offering a uniquely grounding balance.
