The New Look

Lindsey put her own decorating advice to the test, starting with fabric selections to set the room's happy mood and a bright color palette of pink, turquoise, and chartreuse. "I don't think fabrics have to be matchy-matchy to communicate with each other," she says. "If they share a similar vibrancy and color temperature, they'll look good together."

Mixing instead of matching fabrics and blending style eras rather than going for period-perfect rooms are central to Lindsey's personal take on tradition. "I like schemes that feel more organic, more evolved," she says. Rather than being confined by strict style categories, Lindsey planned an interior she describes as "bold, pretty, tailored, and energetic."
