Think texture—times ten. “The number one tip I’d give someone creating a monochromatic space is texture,” says New York City designer Doug Meyer, whose work in a color- drenched duplex includes this floor-to-ceiling study in blue (and "an orchestra of texture and finishes,” as he puts it). The variation in texture keeps the color from falling flat—though the brazen tone helps with that, too. “Using strong colors in this way is no different than creating an all-white room or a room using variations of beige or gray,” Meyer says, "and sometimes the richer and deeper the color, the more relaxing it is.”
