In the Sunset Lobby, Tempesta decided on a
timeless transitional design utilizing a neutral
color palette accentuated by dramatic bold teals,
blues and greens in the accent walls, custom
drapery panels, pillows, and various designer
accessories. Soft taupe wood furniture pieces
mixed with metallic finishes in deep bronze tones
bring textural contrast to the upholstered pieces.
Angular shapes juxtaposed with soft curves
give depth to the overall design. By selecting a
contrasting paint color in the inset tray ceiling, this
architectural detail was highlighted and paired
with the lighting selections to create an elegant
ambience in this cozy conversation area.
Tempesta, along with her design partner,
Katie O’Neil, executed a beautiful functional
design with the right finishing touches to create a
comfortable common area filled with tasteful and
elegant décor. 9
