Vibrant color palettes, rich textures, and beautiful textiles. All of these elements and more come together beautifully in this traditional interior located in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. By designer Andrea Schumacher, this family home is filled to the brim with visual drama. In each room, beautiful hues pop off the wall. A master at mixing color and pattern, Schumacher has created visual interest with patterned drapery, pillows, and upholstery in each room.  Every space has been curated with exciting design moments in mind. And it's no wonder, since Schumacher's background is in television and film where she worked as an in-house designer. Her ability to create unique environments can be seen throughout this home, where each room has been designed with a unique story to tell.

    The living room is enveloped in the most beautiful shades of purple—lilac, eggplant, orchid, and dark berry can all be seen here. With a focus on layering hues, the living room has a beautiful backdrop of pale purple wallpaper. From there, the color palette continues to build through the use of pillows in dark shades of plum and violet. The mix of purple hues comes together in the drapery in this cozy living room. The watercolor pattern ranges from the shade's lightest to darkest moments. For warmth, the room is dotted with gold accessories and dark woods that complement the mix of purple hues.

    The dining room is an ode to the color green. To accentuate the home's high ceilings, walls have been covered in a beautiful emerald hue. The only thing to break up the colorful walls is a large painting featuring a soft pastel palette. Everything else in the room has been kept simple and sophisticated, a mix of neutrals that are sure not to interfere with ​the green shade. A white Saarinen dining table adds a mid-century modern touch in the dramatic dining area. Surrounded by crystal clear Philippe Starck's Louis Ghost Chairs, visually you are never distracted from the room's colorful hue. The end result is a dining area that is breathtaking in design and scale.

    The family room is also about comfort. Schumacher prides herself on being able to create spaces that are filled with personalized elements for the homeowners that she works with. In this home, where there are several young children, it was important to consider both form and function in terms of the furnishings. "Andrea Schumacher Interiors is not about imposing ideas and personal taste onto a client," explains Schumacher.  "It's about the client and interior designer coming together to creates a unique space, and helping the client develop their vision while fulfilling their design requirements."

    The formal dining area is where Schumacher's eye for color, pattern, and unique details truly shines. The space is visually stimulating with a daring mix of elements. The rug is the start of the dining room's striking color palette. Like a Jackson Pollack painting, it offers a riot of hues. A formal dining table is surrounded by chairs upholstered in a rich, teal velvet shade. The contrast of the brown and blue pops. For a strong dose of pattern, the walls are covered in a blue trellis pattern. And roman shades have been installed to add a mix of crimson and navy blue to the room.

    Soft Shades In The Primary

    For a pop of color in the primary bedroom, an upholstered bed in pale blue adds a serene hue to the space. While the rest of the room may be neutral, the mix of patterns and textures keeps things warm and cozy. From the wallpaper to the drapery, subtle patterns add visual interest to the bedroom. 

    About This Term: Primary Bedroom

    Many real estate associations, including the National Association of Home Builders, have classified the term "Master Bedroom" as discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.
