Every once in a while, a designer absolutely stops me in my tracks. Such is the case right now with designer Thomas Britt.
As a color enthusiast, I have swooned over his work before. I so admire designers who are fearless with color (Kit Kemp! Miles Redd!) and I obsess over the way that the U.K. designers have long had the gumption to boldly wash a room in a zesty yellow or bright coral for tremendous effect.
I went down an instagram hole yesterday stalking Claiborne Swanson Frank, and was excited to learn of her family’s long friendship with the designer. For their entire married life, Claiborne’s parents have lived in Thomas Britt designed homes. To see their fabulous RED residence in Nob Hill - click here for the AD article.
Continuing to paint the rainbow for the family, a few years ago, Britt designed this stunning turquoise JEWEL of a Manhattan triplex belonging to Claiborne’s sister - Veronica Swanson Beard.
Now is certainly the time to be BOLD ! For more of Britt’s design tips - click here for a great VERANDA magazine article.
