Living Room
Controlled splashes of red add spirit to this Newport, RI, living room, where designer Meg Braff mixed glamorous chinoiserie pieces with old-fashioned ones to give traditional decor a smart, modern spin. A tight-back Bridgewater sofa Braff has had forever was reupholstered by Michael Milillo in Duralee cream linen. The blanc de Chine ceramic garden seat came from Franklin & Company.

Red Dining Room
Coaxing all possible sophistication from a primary color palette, Meg Braff created a dining room where lighthearted glamour prevails. The mantelpiece is painted in Farrow & Ball's Blazer. The round table is from White Fine Furnishings. Chinese-style fretwork lacquered dining chairs are from C. Bell. The chandelier is by Currey & Company.

White Kitchen
Newport-based architect Steven Laurin designed the kitchen island, reminiscent of a farm table except for its top of Caesar stone, a quartz composite from CaesarStone USA. Braff chose the Sloan Street Shop Light, a large double pendant fixture from Visual Comfort, to balance out the large island and warm up the room: "It's more atmospheric than recessed lighting, and it's nice having linen shades as opposed to metal ones."

Master Bedroom
Braff's first purchase for the master bedroom — an antique barley twist four-poster bed — gives great calm to the space. The bedskirt is Bijoux Stripe by China Seas through Quadrille. The pair of chairs flanking the fireplace are from Franklin & Company and they're covered in a Brunschwig & Fils animal print. The Poppy sisal rug is from Country Carpet & Rug. Bedside lamps are by Shine.

Vanity in the Guest Room
Fresh and clean in blue and white, the master dressing room has a white desk from Bungalow 5. If an old piece isn't terribly valuable, Braff has no qualms about painting it. The vintage desk chair was a darker color when she first found it at Franklin Cruise Antiques.

Sitting Area in the Guest Room
Seen from another angle, the master dressing room has nothing to do with staying in touch with the office and everything to do with kicking back. Chinese Lattice wallpaper from Bob Collins has a fun, 1950s resort look.

Sitting Room
Farrow & Ball's Plain Stripe blue wallpaper with Stone Blue painted trim gives the library walls mysterious depth, making it an atmospheric backdrop for evening cocktails. Braff found the Heriz carpet, sofa, and armchairs at auction. The cocktail table is by Brunschwig & Fils. White ceramic pagodas on the mantel are from Franklin & Company. Above the sofa are new prints of Chinese palaces from Trowbridge Gallery, London.
