A powder room was redone with a swirling red-and-white wallpaper to mirror the pops of red throughout the rest of the house and filled with burnished brass and gilded furniture topped with classical white objects d'arte in bright whites for a subtle contrast. See fine-jewelry designer Elizabeth Locke's full home tour in "A Stunning Estate with Southern Grace and Italian Romance" over on our Style Guide!Warm orange and creamy white bathroom with white countertop. Gorgeous.I like to use the color Red to warm up a room. Red Parrot from Benjamin Moore was perfect for this master bath in an urban townhouse. I particularly liked the contrast with the cool Calacutta marble and the white Empire soaking tub from Waterworks.  Red Parrot is a particular favorite of mine because the claret undertone softens what can be percieved as a strong color.
