Penny Drew Baird's Shimmery Grey Sitting Room

A Master Class in layering with a monochromatic color palette, Penny Drew Baird’s NYC Kips Bay Showhouse sitting room exemplifies how the pros do it. A showstopper is the cut velvet wallcovering which sets the tone for all other layers: Textures abound on the floor, the drapery, a variety of textiles on upholstered pieces enhance the soft gray palette. Most interesting is her use of brushed brass accents as a complement to warm the interior.
