With the start of the new year, there’s nothing we want more than a calm, nearly colorless space. Take this neutral-toned project from Colombe Design, a pre-war flat in Sopot on Poland’s Baltic Coast. The main bedroom features a smart blend of two well-loved Farrow & Ball paint colors, a vintage wicker chair, and layers of soft-colored linen. Here, we profile the key elements to adopt the whole look—or just a few of your favorites.
