Design mantra: Grandmillenial—traditional with modern touches.
Preferred pattern: Stripes are always a go-to, but you can’t go wrong with a floral block print or a check.
Color choice: Parma Gray by Farrow & Ball.
Every home needs: Something woven, whether it’s a kitchen chair, stool or side table. We love texture.
Rule of thumb: If you love, use it.
