Mid-century design is most often associated with natural materials like wood and leather, and creating interest through shape and texture, but, since seeing this image of The Mentalist star Robin Tunney's Beverley Hills dining room, I'm convinced that adding color can bring a whole new energy to this aesthetic.
Of all the mid-century modern ideas, color tends to be more of an afterthought – brought in with a single piece of bold artwork, for example, but it's easy to see that a stronger influence of art and design runs throughout this former home of sculptor Morris Levine, and re-designed by Robin and her interior designer husband, Nicky Marmet.
