Use several types of lighting to enhance a room.

Aged glass mirrors provide a glamorous backdrop for a wobbly striped sideboard. The floors, artwork and mirrors all feature stripe motifs, too. Wearstler's classic metallic hits liven up the credenza's accessories and chair legs.

Draw your colour palette from artwork.

A black frame defines the curvaceous fuchsia upholstered chairs, and dark mouldings provide additional contrast. A unique ceiling and wall treatment draws eyes upwards.

Experiment with 3-D art.

Wearstler mixes metals on these modern models. Pointed gems form a sassy mohawk, elongated studs depict eyebrows, and button-like accents create piercing eyes.

Embellish doors with one-of-a-kind hardware.

A gold quatrefoil-shaped coffee table adds an ultra-glam touch to this exquisite Wearstler project. The diamond rug pattern coordinates with the unusual fireplace grate and artwork.

Brighten bookshelves and console tables with accessories that gleam.

Wearstler's ceramic Ball vase glazed with 22 karat gold looks great with fresh blooms or on its own. The stunning brass Kaleidoscope (top) and Knot (bottom) add instant glamour to a room.

Be daring with a bold paint or wallpaper treatment.

Black and grey painterly strokes and splatters create interest in this minimally furnished guest bedroom. Wearstler's effective colour palette of black, white and gold emanates luxury at its finest.

Store small treasured possessions in pretty bowls.

A fluted edge means this brass dish looks good filled and empty. Below, a 22 karat gold glaze turns a ceramic bowl into an eye-catching objet. Subtle stripes add detail. Splashes of gold form an artist-inspired look on the ivory ceramic.

Statement chairs, a pedestal table and Art Deco panelling create a glamorous and exclusive atmosphere.

“I love that this space feels really timeless–it can be there for another 15 to 20 years,” says Kelly Wearstler, celebrity designer and author of the book, Hue. “The iconic chairs, like those in the bar, can be turned to the profile for privacy. And I love the colour–it’s neutral but dynamic and graphic.”

A spiky light fixture and curvaceous blue chairs add a modern touch to an otherwise classic space.

"White lacquer, black-ebony trim and gold-leaf detail all contribute to a calming yet dynamic space here," Wearstler explains. "The three chairs actually sit opposite a sofa, to add to that residential feel."

The oversized Moorish pattern on the pretty blue rug keeps the scale of this space in check.

"Having the new and the old together adds soul," says Wearstler. "In this space, the coffee table, the two white slipper chairs and the lamps are vintage, and everything else is new."

Delicate gilt-edged chairs balance geometric patterns in the tile floor, chandelier and modern art.

“This was the existing kitchen inside this little apartment,” says Kelly Wearstler, celebrity designer and author of the book, Hue. “I put glass-door fronts on the upper cabinets and put mirror at the back of them to highlight the china. That’s the existing tile floor, too. To warm up the space, I added the window treatment, the oversized light fixture and blue fabric.”

Blue, grey and champagne hues give this bedroom an air of sophisticated glamour.

"This bedding was inspired by an old-fashioned dress that I got from the '60s," says Wearstler. "It's kind of like an abstract painting, but the soft and organic texture works in either a modern or traditional environment."

Sumptuous, hand embroidered pillows add a bespoke touch to a living room or bedroom.

"Everyone likes blue," exclaims Wearstler. "These have a wide range of pattern and texture, so they appeal to everyone."

Unique chairs and a folding blue-and-gold screen create an air of luxury.

"This room is covered in fabric—even the walls are wallpapered in fabric," Wearstler explains. "It's so important to have everything organized, such as a beautiful marble vase with pencils, or a gold box for paper clips."

A Chinoiserie-style mirror reflects a clean-lined four-poster bed and sleek black table lamps.

“This room needed to feel like you’re in Miami, but still feel urban,” explains Kelly Wearstler, celebrity designer and author of the book, Hue. “The amazing painting is done by de Gournay, out of London, who do hand-painted murals. It adds such a dynamic touch to the room. The light in the space feels beach-y, but still city.”

Pink chairs and graphic patterns pop against geometric marble.

"This is a space that you walk through, so it needs to feel residential but still feel like the restaurant and the hotel," Wearstler says. Symmetry keeps the space classic.

A stunning chandelier, gleaming table and sleek upholstered chairs combine in this elegant design.

“This oval room is such a sexy shape,” exclaims Kelly Wearstler, celebrity designer and author of the book, Hue. “It’s in the heart of the house and has windows on both sides. The yellow is refreshing, cosy and makes you look good—and everyone wants to look good at a dinner party!”

A bold carpet design works well with this living room’s black, white and taupe palette.

“This room shows you how different patterns and textures can come together,” says Kelly Wearstler, celebrity designer and author of the book, Hue. “The sofa is velvet, the pillows are a mix and the silver kaleidoscope is mixed with brass dishes. People shouldn’t be afraid to mix metals.”

This sleek box would be equally at home in a living room, bedroom or bathroom.

"This is one of our Bergdorf Goodman accessories," Wearstler says. "We do a lot of boxes, because people want functional accessories—this would be beautiful in a bathroom to hold cotton balls, for example."

Nature-inspired patterns and shapes wrought in fabric and metal bring a modern-organic flavour to this table.

"The beautiful texture really works here," says Wearstler. "With a gold table setting, it can go casual or fancy."

Mix and match four china patterns, unified by a delicate colour palette of soft neutrals and precious metals.

Kelly Wearstler’s Pickard china collection features a range of styles and patterns ranging from organic to graphic, traditional to modern and delicate to bold. Shades of charcoal gray, sand, ivory, metallic gold and platinum make these suitable for fine dining or a casual brunch.

A patterned carpet, leather chairs and a grand desk combine in this cosy office space.

“This library is off the bedroom of a studio executive who works a lot,” says Kelly Wearstler, celebrity designer and author of the book, Hue. “After she puts the kids to bed, she still wants to be close to her husband, so this is her home office. It’s very warm and dynamic, and the red signifies power.”
