Get Major Doses of Pattern in This Artist’s Vibrant Richmond Townhouse – Architectural Digest

Lindsay also used the spaces as a kind of personal lookbook to exhibit the unique ways in which you can apply her lively patterns to the home. Cruising Lindsays Instagram feed, youll find images of the townhouse, demonstrating how to use color and graphics to compose a layered, dynamic space.

In the home, Jill applied pattern in nontraditional ways to highlight architectural features, create movement, and transform awkward nooks into dramatic vignettes, so rooms didnt feel homogenous. You have to think outside the box. It can be used in so many ways. Lindsay says of pattern. You can wallpaper a room in its entirety, but you dont want to wallpaper every room in its entirety.

In the dining room, a vintage credenza topped with Mr. Brown lamps is flanked by vintage chairs from interior designer Kelly Wearstler's Beverly Hills home. Lindsay created a gallery wall to highlight some of her favorite pieces by artists Holly Addi, Addie Chapin, Susan Carter Hall, and Angela Chrusciaki Blehm. That gallery wall went through many iterations, she says. Its about finding the right place for them and creating the right tension between the art.

The starting point for the dining room was Benjamin Moore Black Berry walls. The deep blue-black provided a dramatic backdrop that allowed patterns to leap off the walls, ceiling, and floor. Lindsays Navy White Grasscloth was used to create a faux tray ceiling accented with Farrow & Ball Calamine paint. Jill pumped up the volume in the dining room with the artists Blue Wool Silk Rug and Porter Teleo draperies, Oly Studio dining chairs, a Mr. Brown London honed Carrara marble table, a Julian Chichester light fixture, and a mirror by Made Goods.

In the dining room, wallpaper is encased with molding to create a faux tray ceiling. Set behind glass, wallpaper is used as backsplash on the wet bar. And behind the bed in the primary suite, a vibrant pattern is framed like artwork on the wall.

Walls coated in a soothing Benjamin Moore Gibraltar Cliffs pair well with Lindsays blue and purple Caribbean Grasscloth wall covering. The wallpaper over the bed is the same color as the walls, but just a little touch of pattern, Jill says. The painted photographs are by artist Allison Hobbs. The Room & Board Architecture Bed is topped with Kelly Wearstler blue pillows, a black-and-white Schumacher bolster, and a Rebecca Atwood blanket. Custom nightstands are topped with Kelly Wearstler lamps.

During the renovation, a closet was created for Thomas off the main bedroom entrance. To make the cumbersome space work aesthetically, a hidden door was built into the board and batten, and neighboring walls were covered in one of Lindsays murals. The artist recently released a line of Art Decoinspired mural wall coverings; this one is dubbed Jill to pay homage to the Arkansas interior designer.

In the powder room, a soothing blue Indigo Ocean Alta Non-Woven wallpaper by Lindsay sets a calming tone. A custom vanity is bejeweled in Nest Studio pulls, and Circa Lighting sconces flank a custom mirror.

Since the duo was heavy-handed with prints, they created balance with visual voids so spaces dont feel overwhelming: a calming yin to the Technicolor yang. These interludes come in the form of neutral furnishings; walls cloaked in soothing hues or covered in Venetian plaster; and clean, uncluttered embellishments.

With the home dressed top to bottom in pattern, the eye is drawn up to the ceiling, down to the floor, and from one room to the next. You cant help but follow the chromatic breadcrumb trail.

A leak led to an unplanned kitchen renovation. Floors were refinished in Rubio, which gave the wood a contemporary matte finish. Lindsay originally wanted to paint the cabinets oxblood red, but after happening across Farrow & Ball's Bancha green, she changed her plans. I immediately felt like that was the right color, and it just brought nature in, she says. The leather and brass stools are by Noir.

Green from the kitchen cabinets continues into the breakfast nook. The banquette is topped it with cushions upholstered in Lindsays Onyx Belgian Linen. An Eero Saarinen tulip table is paired with Noir chairs; a framed peacock feather and artwork by Catherine Booker Jones hang on the wall.
