Farrow & Ball Mizzle and Down Pipe

Teaming up Farrow & Ball's Mizzle and Down Pipe is a failsafe color combination for Denver-based interior designer Nadia Watts. In the kitchen shown above, Nadia used Mizzle as the main color choice across the kitchen cabinet ideas, adding contrast with Down Pipe for the kitchen island ideas. 

'It's hard to choose just one favorite from Farrow & Ball,' she begins. 'I love the combination of Mizzle and Down Pipe. These in-between colors are almost like a neutral, they work well with so many other colors and patterns. Mizzle is a soft gray-green reminiscent of a misty drizzle, hence the name. The gray undertones work well with Down Pipe, which also has gray undertones. Down Pipe has a deep blue hue which brings complexity and richness. These two colors work great for cabinetry as well as walls. Because they are in between colors, they play well with others and will withstand trends.'

Designer Nadia Watts of Denver is a great-great granddaughter of master jeweler and glass designer Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany & Co., and she took cues from Tiffany’s rich color palette and design sensibility to welcome visitors to the show house.  With a 13-foot ceiling, the front loggia features comfortable seating with a color pallet of green, gray and yellow.  

From there visitors head into the foyer, which is decorated as gallery with a rich color scheme inspired by pieces of Tiffany leaded glass Watts has collected over the years. The forms in the hand-painted ceiling resemble leaded glass, and its colors are Tiffiny-esque turquoise and gold, complemented elsewhere by pink and tangerine.

The gallery’s custom hand-knotted, 28-foot rug has noteworthy center medallions. “In citrus, teal blue and bright-green chartreuse, they contain the shapes of an oval antique brooch, which is more than 125 years old and in the Tiffany archives,” she says. 

Watts points out another nod to Tiffany — the lush adornments of tassels and trims.
