Designer Heidi Caillier Embraces Heart-Shaped Cutouts, Prints, and Patterns to Create a Charming Seaside Cottage

A mismatched plate wall uses vintage Majolica pottery in varied quality levels to enliven a dining room corner. Plates are paired with pattern wallpaper that functions like texture. In an office, walls are color drenched in Farrow & Ball Minster Green, then balanced with a playful Julian Chichester desk chair and a splatter-like Svenskt Tenn fabric over an antique rag rug. A guest bath combines Adelphi wallpaper with an Antoinette Poisson sink skirt and custom Soane window treatments. In the primary bedroom, a Nickey Kehoe quilt matches the vintage rug’s color family while using an opposite pattern.

"Take the mismatched plate wall in the dining room, for example. Caillier sourced a collection of vintage Majolica pottery-some high-end, some not-to zhuzh a corner nook, pairing the plates with a pattern wallpaper that reads like a texture. "It's the best plate wall I've ever done," she says."

"In the office, she color drenched the walls Farrow & Ball Minster Green, then layered in a playful Julian Chichester desk chair with a splatter-like Svenskt Tenn fabric atop an antique rag rug. She paired Adelphi wallpaper with an Antoinette Poisson sink skirt and custom Soane window treatments in a guest bath."

"And in the primary bedroom, a Nickey Kehoe quilt exists in the same color family as the vintage rug but in a decidedly opposite pattern."
