ALEXA HAMPTON ALEXA HAMPTON FOR MARK HAMPTON NEW YORK ROOM: La Chambre Rouge INSPIRATION: "I am ever leery of forecasting trends. But sometimes when things go zig, it makes me want to go zag. I think red and russet tones are generally eschewed for bedrooms, so that naturally put me in mind to do a red room. I thought that the lusciousness of the red walls and material would be cut through nicely with the use of a buttoned-up ticking stripe. So, in came the ticking on the bed and as an under-curtain treatment. I also thought the map wall, which is a new collaboration with the magnificent Gracie Studio, would find its spiritual mate in the stripes. The crisp plaster moldings we added also work to promote a sense of rigor to the room." — Alexa Hampton For Resources, see page 116 84
