Design Candy: Frank Roop

After putting together the post on a Nantucket home designed by Frank Roop, I decided I needed more of him and his cool blue style.

I usually think that modern spaces look too stark and uncomfortable, but his spaces are neither of those things.

Both club chairs in what looks like a lush velvet and the oversize chaise on the right make me want to curl up with a good book, but the straight clean lines keep it modern. I like that the curves of the two stools separating the seating areas and the round coffee table keep the room from being too linear. I’ll take the cute pooch, too.

I grew up in a house with three sets of spiral staircases so the elegant curve of this one, mirrored by the large round table, really appeals to me.

Some may think that blue + purple + teal + crystal = a feminine combination, but the robust, dark furniture grounded by a geometric rug keep the space gender-neutral.

Now this is statement lighting at its best!

Here are my ideas for achieving the Frank Roop look on a budget:

• Pottery Barn Larchmont Chandelier (on sale!) – $299
• West Elm silk dupioni window panel (on sale!) – $34.95 for 96″
• Z Gallerie Mirage coffee table – $399
• Pier 1 ikat pillow (on sale!) – $17.95
• CB2 Wave pillow - $34.95
• West Elm Blake sofa – $1,199
• Z Gallerie Moroccan pedestal table – $149.95
• Pier 1 floral turqoise ceramic vases – $49.95 and up
• Pillowdecor.com silk dupioni pillow (on sale!) – $34.95

So, what do you think? Does it capture the modern but breezy Roop vibe? It’s my first time putting together a mood board so I’m curious!
