"No beige allowed!" declared the owners of this Chicago apartment to interior designer Melanie Elston. More specifically, they wanted their home to be vibrant, cheerful and full of color. (My kind of people!) Despite the different colors and patterns used throughout, the home really flows from room to room. I seriously cannot tell you how much I love the chairs upholstered in the always-fab "New Wave" in Capri from Old World Weavers layered with the Kelly Wearstler rug. Read all about the dramatic space and finish the tour with lots more photographs by Werner Straube over at Traditional Home!

Wonderfully spirited! Love the color choices, all a little off, but that adds to the charm!
Especially the mix between the green pillows and the wall color in picture one! Gutsy!
Reminds me of Muriel Brandolini's color/pattern sense!
Like it a lot!
I love all the mouldings in the salon dahhling.. just beautiful!
I like how VictoriaArt phrased it. There are some beautiful pieces herein, including that beautiful "New Wave" fabric, which looks great on those chairs. It helps that the bones of these rooms are GORGEOUS!
But the whole design, overall, is perhaps just a bit too 'off' for me.
Those are such great spaces!
Neat, cozy and chic interior design! I like the combination of patterns and the colors are just perfect! Lovely post, check out also 3D Rendering
I love how the chinese art pops off the turquoise walls in the first picture - wow! Beautiful...
I am swooning over that New Wave fabric! How can I get a yard of it?!
Please Help!
Melissa,
I hear ya, it's gorgeous! Unfortunately it is "to the trade" fabric. It used to be available through Stark, but I'm not seeing it on their site anymore. http://www.starkfabric.com
You could try contacting them to see what the scoop is!
This is such a great space. The color on the wall is awesome.
i love the fabric on those chairs and the chairs themselves. I find these rooms ultrra formal and constrained though and could never enjoy them.
I love the fabrics and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the rug, but it would all be too formal for my tastes, I think. I usually think of the four chairs around a cocktail table thing as being a place to sit and chat for hours at a time but I can't imagine sitting in those chairs for very long.
Still, I can definitely get behind a "no beige" mantra.
I absolutely love these photos...any ideas on how I could use furniture from http://www.beyondfurniture.com.au/ and create a clean, contemporary look?
Wow what a clever use of colour, everything just blends so beautifully. Thanks for sharing. x
Great post,
I'm dying over the chair fabric with the rug too. Brilliant!
That rug is gorgeous! Such a beautiful post!

A designer can often provide you with discounts on furnishings and accessories you would not otherwise get from retailers.
“When a designer saves you money, its the kind of number that includes the time, aggravation, and worry. It is hard to put a price tag on not having stress.”
Wonderful asian prints in the first photo!
Love this home and the confident choice of deep, beautiful colors and design!
