She says she tried to strike a balance between her boyfriend’s aesthetic and hers by mixing pastel colors with the gray walls and a chunky leather sofa. “It was a fun experiment to find equilibrium between all of the elements, and ultimately create a home that exudes both of our personalities, creating our perfect starter house,” she says.
To provide additional harmony, she threw in a warm metallic gold Moroccan pouf. “I love the effect of brass and gold with the rich leather and cool gray,” she says.
A previous renovation blocked up the fireplace and tiled over the opening, so Murray painted over it with a matte black paint so it would recede to read more like an opening. The mirror above the mantel is original to the house.
Sofa: H.D. Buttercup; area rug: West Elm; throw pillows: Domino, West Elm and custom-made; coffee table: Mastercraft table from the 1950s, Craigslist
