wear this room

BY: anastasia foggy

Earthy colors anchor the space. Deep reds, soft ivories, and grounding darks. The palette feels lived in, sun warmed, and natural.

Shapes repeat in a hard to miss rhythm: half moons, scallops, circles, squares, and soft-edged rectangles. They show up as little treasures: (a moon, a tree, a sun, a bird) etched into the fireplace screen, giving the room a touch of poetry and play.

There’s movement everywhere, but it’s soft. The lime wash plaster, the grain of the wood table, the marble veining, the jute rug’s weave grounds it all. Scalloped fireplace bricks layer against a wider scalloped screen, echoed again in the sconces. Each curve adding to the rhythm.

Texture: cool stone, plaster with depth, the nubby weave of jute, the softness of linen, the glazed green of handmade ceramic. Then comes the light. Crystal clear, almost iridescent, reflecting like jewelry.

Every detail feels wearable. The tones, textures, movement… the look I want to recreate in my outfits. Let’s wear this room!

Echo the stone table in a deep, earthly red skirt paired with a soft cashmere sweater, its buttons like details in the plaster painting. Add brown leather boots that carry the warmth of wood. Scalloped earrings add to the rhythm of the outfit and a charm necklace mirrors the treasures on the fireplace screen.

Or go for this green scalloped embroidered dress, textured and colored like the room. These soft ivory jeans set the mood, calm and sunlit like the ivory walls. Or just take the spirit of the sofa and slip into this Ulla Johnson printed dress.

And if this room had a scent: clove, sandalwood, and cardamom. Earthy and layered… the kind of scent that lingers, grounding yet alive.
