Get This Look
With its prime location overlooking the yard, a porch gives the precise place for extreme leisure. To stress this idea in his private Shelter Island, New York, dwelling, inside designer Tom Fallon transformed the realm proper right into a full-fledged room. He anchored the furnishings—basic wicker and rattan united by a coat of hunter-green paint—with a pure rug, and hung mirrors and a watercolor from the shingles. Cushions in navy, white, and citrus yellow add shade, whereas trim with a pale celery hue attracts consideration to the 1875 Carpenter Gothic’s louvered shutters and distinctive arched dwelling home windows. “The look is conventional, even a bit quiet, which contrasts with the house’s exuberant construction,” Fallon says.
