You'd Never Think These Colors Go Together, but This Home's Living Room Makes Them Work — Here's How

A cinema room with a purple sideboard red chair and brass cabinet with green marble.

Design journalist Amy Moorea Wong is an expert on color – she even wrote a book about it. To help decode the secrets behind a successful palette, she picks her favorite schemes and breaks them down – with help from the interior designers themselves.

Well, this is a struggle. Where to look first? What most deserves the attention in this decorating scheme... The glowing gold cabinet? The low-but-statement-making purple-y dark red storage? The touch-me-touch-me velvet of the pale red chair? The subtle textures and alluring materials all around? Step back and enjoy it all at once – which is how it was designed, of course – and it comes together like a puzzle, each piece neatly clicking into place.
