Hampton Designer Showhouse 2010

While bold color might be the star here, Stephenson considered every element before committing to any. For cohesiveness, the design incorporates circular forms--some sculptural and dramatic, some subtle. The sunburst mirror, artichoke lamps, and cylindrical antler chandelier grab attention, and the circular details in the custom headboards continue the theme. "Every element needs to be carefully thought out so that it works with an overall scheme," she says, "but not every item should make a statement. Pieces have to work together, not compete."
