This week’s room is really just a corner of a room… because it seems to be the only image I can find, but thanks to some savvy readers, we have tracked down the source! Designer Heidi Prebell is the genius behind this fabulous little space and I have to say, I’m quite smitten…
I love a space that challenges me beyond my comfort level. At first glance it was the wallpaper and brightly colored trim that really drew me into this room – that and the wonderfully low aqua sofa. Can we just talk about how insane the paper is? By choosing to paint the window and trim in the aqua, a space that could have veered towards traditional is suddenly quite bold. The fact that the wallpaper doesn’t go all the way to the floor keeps things from feeling to busy, and I like that touch. Keeping the sofa low and with clean modern lines also helps in that regard.
Then comes the accent pieces – all in white and gold. The mirrored screen and decanters, the gilt side table and artwork. Even the lamp fits right in! And none of them battling with the rest of the room for attention. The only piece I’m really taking issue with is the rug. I like the tones, but the contemporary style just isn’t working for me.
So, what do you think? Is it pushing your design envelope, or could you see yourself right at home with this playful yet polished scene?

I love the mixture of modern and vintage. It’s a very chic look. Great work!!

tip: if you drag a picture from a website onto the google image search bar, it will show you pages that include the image, and often one will either be the source or guide you to it!
I like this, even though it is a little bit out of my style comfort zone. I would definitely take the sofa and the gold side table home with me, though!
Thanks for sharing!
wow! the wallpaper is perfect i’m in love with this mix of colors and forms.

Wow! Bold indeed. I would have had some major trepidation painting woodwork that color, but it looks amazing! I have 1996 internet speed, so I was able to read your analysis before the picture finally loaded, and I totally agree about the rug. I’d do a white one with a plush, high pile. Awesome photo find!

Stumbled across your beautiful blog today. It’s lovely. Thanks for making my afternoon ever so much nicer.

p.s. Hope I’ve attached the link (above) correctly.
I went searching for you….found this http://www.bostondesignguide.com/guide/interior-design/heidi-pribell-interiors-distinctive-interior-design-services-cambridge-ma It appears to be her but on her website I did not see this room…hope that helps:)
The rug sort of kills it for me. Why would they choose such a rug in an otherwise amazing room!?
LOVE this room! Maybe not for my own home, but I can’t stop looking at it! The wallpaper and sofa do it for me!
The room was actually designed by Heidi Pribell, an interior designer out of Boston, and photographed by Nat Rea! Great job by both!
It’s done by Heidi Pribell Interiors of Boston. http://www.heidipribell.com/style.html

Unfortunately I couldn’t find more shots of the room on Heidi’s site, but you can get glimpses of the house (if I’m interpreting the photos right).
Gorgeous wall paper! I also like the use of white as a dose of calm…black just wouldn’t feel right in this space.
I like the style of the rug, it’s the tone that is the tough sell with me, specifically the yellow/brownish tones. Overall, I love the room though.
That rug is offensive. I have to view that image so the bottom of the screen cuts off the rug… and then I love it!
I love the colours. I just have seen this armchair and think it would fit the ambience perfectly! http://brabbu.com/upholstery/inca.html
I did NOT KNOW about “dragging and Google images!!” Nice! Loved everything about that room – except that turquoise molding…easily changed though. franki
It’s nice to look at, but too candy to live in
oh wow! now this is a room! it’s amazing just how much is going on, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming when you look at it. a job well done.
Gorge! I’m a bit obsessed with wallpapers, and I love this one! Fresh and pretty!

Definitely not my style but quite a well designed space. The white mirror and accessories break up the abundance of color and helped create what is simply a very flirty, fun and chic space. I likes.
I have to say, I love this room! Every single bit of it. Right down to the rug, which I feel is beautiful under that gorgeous low sofa.
Great post!

I love this room. Especially the couch! Where is it from?
