A Lynn Morgan Room

Is like a candy store.
YUMMO!
Her published rooms are faboo!

It's not just the sunny colors in Lynn Morgan's rooms that make one want to exhale, but the designer herself: Relaxed and unpretentious, Morgan brings the tropical colors and effortless living of her native Savannah—where she grew up sailing and crabbing—to the homes she designs from her shingled studio in Rowayton. After 25 years of raising children in Connecticut, the designer and her husband returned to Manhattan with an Upper East Side pied-à-terre.“I needed to push myself away from my regular look,” says Morgan of the Art Deco apartment that she says required “symmetry, simplicity, and sophistication.”  For the palette,she avoided the sea blues, chartreuse greens, and bougainvillea pinks inspired by her coastal upbringing and winters in St. Croix. Instead, she used the grey-and-white awnings of Paris as a starting point for roman shades and pillows,and the black-and-whites of her husband’s City of Light photography collection as foils for bursts of coral and orange. “I like white high-gloss lacquered walls—nothing fussy,” says Morgan. Unafraid to mix high and low, she balances custom pieces with catalog finds. “Simplicity and order—that’s the spirit of a holiday, year-round.” ( as featured in New York Spaces)

I love the metal light fixtures that she has spec'd for most of her kitchens.

I love this room.

It reminds me of Maine.

This one is for you Mom.

This picture is for me.....

I LOVE banquettes. 

And this setting is fabulous with the mix of textures and the antique chairs.

I noticed that most of her walls are pale 

and the color is in the upholstery 

and in the soft goods.

For the most part, I do the reverse.

I put the color on the walls 

and in the occasional soft goods.

ie; pillows, occasional chair fabrics, and any trims that I might use.

They are easily changed

when the client tires of them ( and less costly).

And the biggest impact (I think) 

in a room you can have is a gorgeous paint color.

And if you are going to screw up on anything....

paint is an easy fix, and an easy change 

when you want a new look, and a totally new feel.

And the room is all about 

'THE FEEL' 

if you ask me.

Are you all about 'THE FEEL' of your rooms?

Each one of my rooms have different moods, or feelings

 that the colors and pieces set off in me.
