SPRING 2020 53 nshoremag.com/nshorehome/ Your top design tips on how to use the color? "Paint it all. In a smaller space like a butler's pantry, a study or a powder room, we love to paint the entire space uniformly in- cluding the walls, built-in furniture, and ceilings. Often, we use a satin or a gloss finish to make the space feel like a jewel box. When working with color with a sheen, you need to make sure the plaster is perfect and you work with a skilled painter." "Accent walls are passé. Painting a singular wall a contrasting color feels contrived and dated. Introduce colors with your furniture selections or with bold artwork." MICHAEL FERZOCO, Principal, Eleven Interiors How do you approach the new Pantone color each year? "Cautiously. We pride ourselves on not following trends to such an obvious level; however, we take into consideration the recent 'fashion' of the interior design industry and incorporate it into our projects on various levels (sometimes just a hint of the color, and other times an entire custom kitchen in the color), depend- ing of course, on the project and the client." What do you love most about this year's hue: Classic Blue? "This year's color is for us, a 'colorful neutral' because it works with every other color in a wide range of hues of every other color. You simply can't go wrong with Classic Blue. Hence the name, of course." Your top design tips on how to use the color? "Go all in, or use it in small doses. For the former, we would do custom kitchen cabinetry or large sofas and painted walls [as pictured]. And for the latter, we would use the color in a bath- room accent tile, a kitchen backsplash, living room accessories, or perhaps a light fixture." barchstudio.com; slocumhalldesign.com; eleveninteriors.com; shconstruction.com Eleven Interiors does not go for trends but uses this year's hue as a colorful neutral.
