Fashion Meets Interior Design in This Stylish Walk In Closet


Swooning At 
Holiday House Designer Showhouse 
in
Rio Hamilton's 
Master Bedroom Closet & Vestibule


Rio strikes a pose!
Benjamin Moore's Coral Reef
When walking into Rio Hamilton's stylish, expansive dressing room and closet, I was immediately smitten with the gorgeous painted murals channeling the artistry of fashion illustrator, René Gruau.  Rio worked with fashion designer, Richard Lowe and artist Nathaniel Galka to realize these designs, and they beckon you to lounge on the settee.  

Once in the space I was drawn to the monochromatic color palette, with all one hue painted on the wares in the closet from shoes to dresses.  It is a soothing and chic color by Benjamin Moore, Coral Reef.  The rug by Stark Carpet offers a neutral animal print, and before you know it I have a glass of champagne in hand, and a celebratory visit to Rio's stylish room.  He hits the mark here, instinctively knowing what women want from a dressing room.  There are some great sponsors and sources utilized in the space, so please take note, and plan to visit the show house to see it for yourself, which is open daily until December 2nd. Visit Rio on instagram at @rio_hamilton too!
