VIDEO: Tour Ellen Hamilton’s Dining Room at the Galerie House of Art and Design

“Everyone thinks of blue and beach, but I love the idea that in a Mediterranean climate you’re using warmth,” says Ellen Hamilton, founder of New York–based Hamilton Design Associates. For the Galerie House of Art and Design, Hamilton sheathed the dining room walls in a beautiful shade of terra cotta courtesy of the Paint Laboratory, which also provided the vivid blue and sunny gold that accents the space. Furnishings from Maison Gerard, including a spacious dining table and leggy chairs, are coupled with tableware from Sud New Orleans, Astier de Villatte, and Hermès. A fireplace enhanced with materials from ABC Stone is surrounded by an exceptional art collection, which includes pieces by Claire Tabouret and Natalie Frank.

Watch below as Hamilton shares more details and gives a tour of the charming space.
