Daring Design

Daring Design A lifelong lover of gutsy colour, Shelly Wilkinson wasn't going to perform play-it-safe hues in the Charlotte, NC, home she and her husband, Adam, bought in 2012. Unafraid to wear turquoise corduroy trousers with a neon yellow sweatshirt for a tween or to paint her living room purple if she was a newlywed, Shelly (pictured here with daughters Sydney, 14, and Fleming, 16) had zero anxiety about incorporating high-octane colors in every room. To be certain the competing colors wouldn't clash, she worked with interior designer Lance Jackson of Parker Kennedy Living to map out a compatible palette. The outcome is part preppy, part Palm Beach, with plenty of bold designs, such as florals, geometrics and chinoiserie. Even though the house is cohesive rather of disorderly, the kaleidoscopic insides can shock first-time people"Their jaws hit the floor," says Shelly--but she's thrilled with the results. "Color makes it a fun, joyful house this content basics. What could be better?"

Guest Bedroom At the ready for sleepovers, the teen-friendly third floor includes a Younger Furniture sectional that's easy to reconfigure, plus tons of patterned cushions and throws.

Toilet A white vanity topped with snowy Carrara marble allows the supersized poppies on the Osborne & Little background take centre stage try this out. Color Trick: A big pattern could be amazingly easy to live with, particularly when one of those colours in the design is really a neutral, such as slate gray.



Exterior Constructed in 1967, the three-story Georgian-style home is modeled following a historical Delaware residence that dates back to 1774. Shelly kept the brick and black-and-white facade as is, therefore there is no tip-off into the vibrant colour scheme indoors.
