Project feature: New Orleans Home

Written By Sarah Irvine
 
 

Color-soaked, storied, and full of soul

A New Orleans home with historic bones, bold color, and contemporary art. The house reflects the city itself — creative, layered, and full of soul.

A study in heritage and hue

  • A soft, neutral foundation sets a calm tone throughout the home, allowing moments of color, pattern, and art to feel intentional rather than overwhelming.

  • Sculptural furnishings and layered textures bring warmth, while curated pieces add personality and a sense of ease.

  • Subtle pops of gold show up in hardware, framing, and decorative accents. Collected and comfortable, it’s a space designed for the city itself.
