THE ORIGINAL Shiny silver wallpaper

with a black-and-white trellis pattern sets

a high-contrast backdrop for this loft. A

daybed with a graphic mix of designs

calls to mind the daring sensibilities of ’60s

designer David Hicks, known for using

pattern and sharp contrast to create

glamour with a barbed edge.

THE UPDATE While designers like Hicks

and the creator of this space used contrast

to build a sense of rhythm,

today’s look relies on crisp

lines and angles. Moving away

from a monochrome palette

and blending warm metals

with cool softens the look while

maintaining plenty of fl ash.

Silver, copper, and gold

spotlight geometry’s glam side.
