"I love the crisp, classic combination of brown and white! In order to keep the room from becoming too 'earthy,' I layer in warm brass and gold accents, which add a nice reflective quality. Mixing in varied textures, like the natural silk bamboo rug, silk velvet pillows, and cashmere throws, allow me to keep the palette monochromatic without being boring." — Meridith Baer, Founder, Meridith Baer Home
