Interior designer Marika Meyer infused a Bethesda, Maryland, home with sophistication and color, centering the design around the owners’ love for aubergine.
Referred by both the builder and a client, Meyer embraced the opportunity to create a cohesive yet vibrant home. She used Farrow & Ball’s Pelt in high-gloss for the library, complemented by plum wallpaper on the ceiling, ensuring a rich and inviting ambiance. To maintain balance, she introduced blue tones throughout the main floor, creating a seamless flow between rooms without rigidly defining them by color. Throughout, she selected quality, long-lasting furnishings that could withstand daily use. The result is a home that balances playfulness and sophistication, proving that vibrant color can be both stylish and practical for families.
