Color drenching, the art of using a single hue (or closely related tone) to cover all surfaces and elements within a room, is one of the riskiest decorating techniques you can follow. However, when done well, it can leave an impression that resonates. An example of such is found in Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos's New York home, where their black lounge makes an utterly unforgettable statement.
The couple's media longe, designed by William Sofield and his team at Studio Sofield, is the finest example of the 'color drenching' method I've seen this year. As a celebrity style editor, I've seen countless twists on this technique, but Kelly and Mark's rich, black space is the most daring.
