Roger A. Bills is a talented interior designer in Ocala, Florida. We at Hickory Chair have enjoyed working with him for over 15 years. Recently he shared some photographs with us of some inspirational rooms he created for a client.
Show left is a picture of the master bedroom. The rich colors in the rug provided the direction for the color palette. He selected the rich orange from the rug as a punch of color to accentuate in accessories. Over the pair of Jasper Dressers from the Mariette Himes Gomez Collection is an Upholstered Dauphine Mirror in a rich orange toned leather. The Eton M2M Sofa at the foot of the bed is upholstered in a neutral fabric with throw pillows in two-toned silk as well as a print fabric that picks up the orange tones of the rug. Show right is a portion of the Avon Chair that has been upholstered in an orange silk. Its standard nail head trim adds interest to the room. A pair of Charles M2M Hassocks sit in front of the Eton Sofa. They were upholstered with a solid fabric on the sides and a luxurious print on the top. The room has great color, form and pattern due to the pieces Roger recommended to his client.
In the dining area, Roger continued his thoughtful use of color. From the Mark Hampton Collection Roger selected the Adam Arm Chairs. Our Weathered Linen paint was selected and then a combination of blue, brown and gold silk fabrics made each chair have its own personality. These Adam chairs surround the Sutherland Dining Table. Its top features Light Walnut finish over the Olive Ash Burl top. The Olive Ash Burl veneers are applied in a sunburst pattern. The base of the table as well as the Duchamp Sideboard were also finished in Weathered Linen paint. The top of the sideboard also was finished in Light Walnut stain. The resulting effect is warm, inviting, luxurious and textural.
We appreciate the opportunity to become the workroom for talented designers like Roger Bills.
