A neutral backdrop, cosmopolitan forms, eye-popping art—it’s a triple threat when you want to create a room oozing with breezy sophistication. Combine French-inspired furnishings—a daybed, kneehole desk, and folding screen—with colorful art and reclaimed architectural elements placed to play up their sculptural beauty. The rest is in the details: add luxurious pillows, fresh flowers, scented candles and trays. With that, indulge in word play; it never fails to intrigue.
